EDITORIAL

This Spring Issue of the Alabama Historical Quarterly carries the
story of what will probably be the last reunion of the Confederate
Veterans held in Montgomery, September 27th and 28th, 1944.
The story of that meeting is presented as the leading article in the
magazine owing to its great historical significance. The address
of the Hon. Walter B. Jones, Presiding Judge of the Fifteenth
Judicial Circuit of Alabama is presented in full. Another item is
the address of Dr. Marshall Wingfield on the subject of the great
Robert E. Lee delivered on the General’s birthday of this year in
St. Louis, Mo. Dr. Wingfield was re-elected Commander-in-Chief
of the Sons of Confederate V eterans during the Montgomery con-
vention of the Sons of Veterans and agreed for the Quarterly to
reproduce his St. Louis speech which appears in this issue in the
group of Confederate items.

An historical sketch on “Origin of Slavery in America” by
Miss Mattie F. Allison, of Huntsville, located in the files of the
Virginia Clay-Clopton Chapter, U.D.C., is also printed for the
first time. Following that article is one giving an account of the
monument erected by the Daughters of the Confederacy to the
memory of Heyward Shepherd, a Freedman faithful to his duties
at Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia. The address of Mrs. L. M.
Bashinsky who was at the time President General U.D.C., on the
occasion of the dedication of the “faithful slave memorial” is re-
produced in full.

Among the young heroes of the Confederacy none gave his
life to his country in a more heroic manner than did Sam Davis,
of Tennessee, who was hanged as a spy in 1863. He was offered
his life if he would reveal the name of a Federal soldier who had
given him the information he was carrying to the Confederates at
the time of his arrest. Young Davis replied even at the moment
when he was already standing upon the gallows : “I know the
danger of my situation and am willing to take the consequences.
I am ready.” Two monuments have been erected to his memory
in his native State, one at Pulaski and the other in Nashville.
On the occasion of the unveiling of the Pulaski monument John
Trotwood Moore read his poem written especially for the occasion,
“Sam Davis” which appears in this magazine.

The late Judge Oliver D. Street, of Huntersville, was a stu-
dent of Southren history and wrote a number of articles on the
subject. One of these “ ‘Houston County’ in the Great Bend of
the Tennessee” was written by Judge Street for the Tennessee
Valley Historical Society and presented to the Alabama Historical Quar-
terly by Judge Street himself before his death. It is printed here for
the first time.

“Changing Alabama” by Mary S. Butler is an interesting
analysis of the subject and was awarded the first prize for the
best current historical article by the Federation of Women’s Clubs
at their last convention.

Following its custom the Quarterly carries an article of cur-
rent history in this issue. In this case the item is the presentation
of a letter from Gessner T. McCorvey, Chairman of the State Dem-
ocratic Executive Committee relating to the Primary and Election
laws and the procedure of the Democratic Party in relation thereto.

In the World War Memorial Building there is a room de-
voted entirely to mementoes of Alabama’s French history. The
Vine and Olive Colony founded Demopolis in 1818 and a number
of relics of that Napoleonic group of French people who fled from
their native country to America for safety have been given to the
Department of Archives and History and are to be found in the
French Room in the World War Memorial Building. The most
recent acquisition to the collection is a French gun, the history of
which is given by Mrs. Bessie Patterson Wilburn who placed the
gun in the Department for preservation.

For a number of issues the Quarterly has been printing with
pictures the history of certain old churches in the State. The
article in this issue gives the history of Rock Spring Baptist
Church in Chambers County, written by Miss Anne Elizabeth
Newman.

One of Alabama’s most interesting pioneer characters was
Jeremiah Austill. In the manuscripts collection of the Depart-
ment of Archives and History is to be found Jeremiah Austin’s
autobiography covering the early years of his life in this State.
This article is produced here for the first time and also his wife’s
account of certain adventures in our Indian warfare period.

The Quarterly is very grateful to the poets of the State who
have contributed some of their work for each issue of the maga-
zine. The Book Reviews are by Dr. Emily Calcott, of State
Teachers College, Troy, and by Mrs. Mary Heath Lee, of the
Tuesday Study Club of Fairhope. The two book reviews by Mrs.
Lee were entered for the Haleyville Study Club prize for a re-
view of a book by an Alabama author and were awarded prizes
in the successive years 1943 and 1944.

There is a steadily growing interest in family history. The
Quarterly presents as its concluding article inquiries about certain
families with the request that any one having the information
wanted write directly to the persons whose names and addresses
are given in the inquiries.

LAST CONFEDERATE REUNION

What will probably prove to be the last General Confederate
Reunion was held in Montgomery through the two days of Sep-
tember 27th and 28th. The attendance was small owing to the
great age of the Veterans and the long distance some of them had
to travel to reach Montgomery. In fact there were only eight
men present. Those who were determined to hold one more re-
union insisted upon the meeting being held in Montgomery where
they were given a warm welcome by the patriotic people of the
Cradle of the Confederacy. Meeting with the Confederate Vet-
erans were the National organizations of the Sons of Confederate
Veterans, the Order of the Stars and Bars and the Confederated
Southern Memorial Association. Mrs. Lennard Thomas, of Mont-
gomery, was in charge of the general program, assisted by local
representatives of the other organizations.

Commander-in-Chief of the Confederate Veterans, Homer L.
Atkinson, of Petersburg, Va., was unable to attend on account of
illness. The first Veteran to arrive was Brigadier-General W. M.
Buck, of Muscogee, Oklahoma, who has already reached the age
of 93 but is remarkably active and came from Muscogee to Mont-
gomery unescorted. The Georgia delegation was sent through the
courtesy of Governor Ellis Arnall in a beautiful car escorted by
the Georgia State Highway Patrol in charge of Corp. Paul Smith.
In the delegation were Col. W. H. Culpepper, 96 years of age and
Gen. W. L. Dowling, 97. Other Veterans present were: Gen. J. W.
Moore, of Selma, 93 years of age, who was elected at the close of
the Reunion to be Commander-in-Chief of the Veterans; J. D.
Ford, Marshall, Texas, 95 years of age; W. W. Alexander, Rock
Hill, S. C., 98; Gen. William Banks, Houston, Texas, 98; J. A.
Davidson, Troy, 100 years of age. All Veterans except Gen. Buch
were accompanied by attendants.

Sons of Confederate Veterans Participate

The Sons of Confederate Veterans had a good representation,
including their Commander-in-Chief, Dr. Marshall Wingfield, of
Memphis, Tenn. ; Hon. Walter L. Hopkins, Adjutant-in-Chief,
Richmond, Va. ; Hon. W. Scott Hancock, Adjutant General and
Chief of Staff, St. Louis, Mo.; Hon. John R. T. Rives, Cedar Rap-

s

Dr. Marshall Winfield, a Congregational minister of Memphis, Tenn., a na-
tive of Virginia, was elected Commander-in-Chief of the Sons of Confederate Vet-
erans.

James W. Moore, Selma, Ala., 92 years of age, was elected Commander-in-
Chief of the Confederate Veterans at the General Convention held in Montgomery,
September 27-28. He served as a Private in Co. I, 51st Ala. Mounted Infantry.

ids, Iowa, formerly of Birmingham, Inspector-in-Chief, and nu-
merous local representatives of the organization. The Daughters
of the Confederacy and members of the Confederated Southern
Memorial Association were active in their efforts to make the con-
vention a great success from every point of view. The Exchange

Hotel, successor of the historic old hotel of that name, was head-
quarters for the Veterans and Sons. At the opening of the Vet-
eran's meeting a prayer was offered by Dr. Wingfield. The old
Veterans and the Sons and Daughters sang “Rock of Ages", which
was Jefferson Davis' favorite hymn. Other music was rendered
and appropriate addresses were made. Following the preliminary
exercises a memorial service for Veterans who had died since the
last reunion was held, conducted by Mrs. Belle Allen Ross, of
Montgomery, a Vice-President General of the Confederated South-
ern Memorial Association. Mrs. Lennard Thomas, vocalist and
Mrs. John Todd, piano accompanist, rendered the music for this
as for other parts of the program during the reunion. Mrs. Rus-
sell Hippe, of Montgomery, carrying in her arms a large bouquet
of red roses, read the lines of Maud Lindsay’s poem “My Land is a
Red Land and the Red Land Breeds the Rose", accompanied by
the piano. At the afternoon session Judge Leon McCord of the
Federal Circuit Court, made a very appealing address and Mrs.
Hippe presented the roses to the oldest Veteran, the centenarian
J. A. Davidson, of Troy. The social feature of the first day’s pro-
gram included a reception at the home of Judge Walter B. Jones
of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit Court, of Montgomery. The
Jones home, occupied for so many years by the late Governor
Thomas G. Jones and family, is now owned by Judge Walter B.
Jones and is the center of much hospitality.

Veterans Stand on Gold Star

The second day of the Reunion was filled with events planned
to gratify the old men who had worn the gray and had journeyed
back to Montgomery for what was referred to as their last Reun-
ion. The morning of the 28th was bright and warm and the Vet-
erans were carried from their hotel in a city bus on a tour of in-
spection of both Gunter and Maxwell air fields where they saw
young soldiers in khaki being trained as fliers. At each one of
these military establishments the Commander greeted the Vet-
erans with warm hand clasps. At Maxwell Field General W. S.
Gravely showed the Veterans all the wonders of preparation for
modern warfare. At Gunter Field Colonel Raymon L. Winn also
gave a warm welcome to the old men in their gray uniforms.

The tour ended at the Capitol where the Veterans were receiv-
ed on the Capitol grounds by a detachment of officers of the Wo-

10

ALABAMA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

man’s Army Corps. The Maxwell Field band seated on the Cap-
itol grounds near the imposing statue of Jefferson Davis erected
by the United Daughters of the Confederacy, played Southern
airs, beginning with "Dixie”, much to the delight of the old men.
The front of the Capitol was decorated with a large Confederate
flag suspended from the balcony above the portico, flanked on
either side by a United States flag and the flag of Alabama, the
latter a red St. Andrew’s cross on a white field, reminiscent of the
battleflag of the Confederacy. Seats were provided on the portico
of the Capitol for the Veterans and chairs facing the Capitol were
occupied by the audience. Hon. T. B. Hill, of Montgomery, made
the introductory remarks and presented the speaker of the occa-
sion, Judge Walter B. Jones, who delivered an address that touch-
ed all hearts and will be preserved in many libraries as it is repro-
duced in this issue of the Quarterly for that purpose. Each Vet-
eran in turn stood upon the spot where Jefferson Davis stood
when he took his oath of office as President of the Confederate
States of America. The spot long ago was marked by the Ladies
Southern Memorial Association, of Montgomery.

The Bible on which Jefferson Davis took his oath of office
and upon which all Governors of Alabama since 1853 have been
sworn into office, kept securely in its glass cabinet in the World
War Memorial Building, was placed near the star for the occasion.
The Great Seal of the Confederate States of America was also in
the case.

In the group of seven Veterans that posed for a photograph
was one Negro man slave 90 years of age who served in the war
as a body guard to his master. This man. Dr. R. A. Gwynne, lives
in Birmingham where he is a well known character.

A Banquet is Held

In the evening a banquet for the Veterans, Sons of Veterans
and representatives of the other patriotic organizations of the
Confederacy, was given at the Whitley Hotel with an audience
of four score men and women. The decorations were unique and
appropriately centered with a large stage coach around which were
placed small Confederate soldiers bidding their sweethearts good-
bye. Vases of flowers were decorated with figures of old fashioned
girls wearing ante-bellum hoop skirts as were the decorations of

SPRING ISSUE, 1944

11

the place cards. The toastmaster of the banquet was John R. T.
Rives. The principal speaker was Hon. Chauncey Sparks, Gov-
ernor of Alabama. Others included Mrs. Adelaide Van Diver,
Prattville, Division President of the U.D.C. ; Mrs. Bibb Graves,
former U. S. Senator; Mrs. L. M. Bashinsky, former President-
General of U.D.C., Dr. Wingfield, Commander-in-Chief of the Sons
of Confederate Veterans and others. During the evening the Con-
federate Veterans were introduced and several of them made ap-
propriate talks. Mrs. Thomas wore a Scarlett O’Hara dress and
received vociferous applause when she sang “Shortenin’ Bread”.

Golden Anniversary Luncheon

Following the exercises at the Capitol the whole company re-
paired to the Civic Room of the Jefferson Davis Hotel where the
three Montgomery Chapters of the United Daughters of the Con-
federacy gave a luncheon. Mrs. Albert Pickett, of Montgomery,
was in charge. Mrs. Jesse Roberts, of Montgomery, Past Division
President of the U.D.C. was Toastmistress. The long tables were
soon occupied and additional tables were hastily set up to take
care of the many guests who arrived belatedly. The particular
occasion was not only to honor the Veterans and Sons of Veterans
but to celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the
United Daughters of the Confederacy. A large birthday cake com-
memorating that momentous event was decorated with fifty golden
candles. The cake was cut by Mrs. Roberts and served to the en-
tire company. Group singing included “Dixie”, “Bonnie Blue
Flag”, and “Auld Lang Syne.” The Veterans left Montgomery
feeling very happy and grateful for the hospitalities shown to them
and for the love expressed for them by every one.

THE CONFEDERATE VETERAN

Address of Hon. Walter B. Jones, Presiding Judge, Fifteenth Judicial
Circuit of Alabama, before the Final Reunion of the United Confederate
Veterans, Montgomery, Alabama, State Capitol, September 28, 1944.

Venerable Veterans of the Southern Confederacy, Sons and
Daughters of the Confederacy, and my Fellow Americans:

You come this morning, Veterans, to a Southern city forever
associated with the Confederate States of America. It was here in
old Montgomery, in this very building, on this very spot, that
more than eighty years ago was cradled the Southern Confederacy,
that noble government of which it is said, beautifully and truth-
fully :

No nation rose so white and fair,

None fell, so pure of crime.

At this hour you come to scenes forever made historic be-
cause in days now long gone Jefferson Davis and the giants of the
South walked this very ground and stood on this very portico.
Well may we remember on this sacred spot God’s admonition to
Moses in the mountain of Horeb : Put off thy shoes from off thy
feet, for the place whereon thou standest is holy ground.

Reverently you come to this hallowed spot to hold a solemn
service in this your final reunion on earth. The promptings of
loyal hearts bring you here to Montgomery, to the first capital
of your beloved Confederacy, for the final scene ; and you stand
in this morning hour where so many heroes of the Confederacy,
and of the Nation, have stood in years past.

You stand today on this consecrated hill, with your faithful
Sons and devoted Daughters about you, to pay a tribute of love
and affection to your comrades in arms, and to the leaders of
your civil government, and to join again in fraternal handclasp
your few fellow survivors.

As you stand here on this beautiful eminence, overlooking
Jefferson Davis’s first seat of government, and in the shadow of

SPRING ISSUE, 1944

13

the handsome monument here reared to his memory, you commune
with the warrior Spirits of old, drawing- strength from the mem-
ory of their glorious deeds and the bravery of their spirits.

You come in this morning hour with tender and sweet recol-
lections of the Southern Confederacy, and of the men and women
who founded it. You recall the nobility and the uprightness of
that short-lived government. You remember the part that God
gave you to play in those stirring days of the Sixties when our
great Nation was divided and the South invaded. You look back
on the work of your hands and the sacrifices of your lives in those
times with pride and satisfaction. The gentle winds of Yesterday
waft to you here today the sweet memories of a departed genera-
tion, and bring back the greatness and glories of years now long
buried beneath the sands of Time.

Why You Fought

You took your place in the armies of the South obedient to the
summons of duty and the instincts of self-preservation. You
marched out to battle, not that you wanted fame, not that you
coveted reward, not that you wanted place, not that you desired
rank, and not that you desired to keep an alien race in bondage.
Ambition did not lure you, nor did the lust for power goad you.
You took your place in the trenches to battle for your fire-sides,
your homes and your people. You fought to preserve the union
of the States under the Constitution. You and your comrades
suffered all, endured all, gave all, and sacrified all save honor to
defend those ideals for which your fathers fought, and, dying,
delegated to your hands. You have been faithful to that trust and
have done your part to preserve the American system of govern-
ment on this Continent.

What We Recall

So, we are reverently gathered here today to turn again with
mournful rustling the golden leaves of memory, and as we con-
template the days of old, we recall the secession of sovereign
States from the Union because ' their people felt they could no
longer live in peace and justice within the Union, and elected to
exercise their reserved power under the Constitution to secede.
We remember how long and sincerely Southern statesmen labored

14

ALABAMA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

to preserve the Union of the Fathers. We remember President
Lincoln’s call for volunteers to carry the war into the South, how
Pennsylvania’s troops reached Washington the next day, how four
days later Massachusetts’ regiments poured into the capital of the
Nation, how New York’s first regiment came the next day, and
how the sons of the North sprang up to answer the President’s
call for the invasion of the South.

The Soldier of the Confederacy

Then strode upon the stage of history, in all the glory of his
young manhood, the peer of the world’s greatest soldiers, the Sol-
dier of the Southern Confederacy.

Robert E. Lee, true to the faith that was in him, rejected the
offer of supreme command of the armies of the United tSates and,
mounting ‘Traveler’, rode out to lead you and your comrades in
arms. And, “forth from its scabbard, pure and bright”, Lee’s
sword “flashed in the cause of right.”

Thomas J. Jackson closed his textbooks at the Virginia Mili-
tary Institute, buckled his sword on, became Lee’s greatest lieu-
tenant, and rode into fame and history as “Stonewall” Jackson.

The lion-hearted Nathan Bedford Forrest, the “wizard of the
saddle”, sprang to his horse and commanded your comrades in
many important battles.

Leonidas K. Polk doffed the robes of an Episcopal bishop to
wear the uniform of a Confederate major general, commanded a
corps of the Army of Tennessee and heroically died in action at
Marietta.

Albert Sidney Johnston mapped your battle plans at Shiloh
and gave the last full measure of his devotion to the cause of the
Confederacy.

“Bronze-bearded” J. E. B. Stuart and his cavalry rode around
McClellan’s rear, raided Pope’s communications, brought Lee valu-
able information, Stuart dying gloriously at Yellow Tavern.

General George Pickett, at the head of his Virginians, Caro-
linians, Mississippians, Tennesseeans and Alabamians, marched out

SPRING ISSUE, 1944

IS

steadily as if on dress parade, stormed the heights at Gettysburg,
and won immortal glory.

John Brown Gordon, wounded in battle eight times, held the
last lines at Petersburg, and at Appomattox made the last charge
of Lee’s valiant army.

John Hunt Morgan made memorable cavalry raids for the
Confederacy, and gave his life for his Southland at Greenville,
Tennessee.

John Singleton Mosby and his Partisan Rangers, “the hell-cats
on horseback”, harassed Grant and Sheridan in the Valley of Vir-
ginia and made their names synonymous with brave deeds and
daring escapades.

John Pelham sprang to the saddle to command Stuart’s Horse
Artillery, to fire Lee’s guns at Fredericksburg, and to pass into
history at the height of his fame as the Gallant Pelham.

Raphael Semmes, commanding the Sumter and the Alabama,
destroyed federal commerce on every sea and made naval history.

Longstreet, and Early, and Hood, and Ashby, and countless
hundreds of gallant Confederates wore the gray with bravery and
distinction, and on countless bloody battlefields you and your com-
rades fought with courage and boldness for the Southern Confed-
eracy.

The Poets of the South

In the sweetness of this hour we remember, too, the gentle
singers of the South, and their verse and song which inspired and
sustained you in the conflict of battle.

As the invader sets foot on Southern soil, comes the clarion
call of Albert Pike’s “Dixie” :

Southrons, hear your country call you !

Up ! lest worse than death befall you !

To arms! to arms! to arms! in Dixie!

16

ALABAMA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

For Dixie's land we'll take our stand.

To live or die for Dixie!

And from South Carolina, first to secede, Henry Timrod rouses
his countrymen with his poem, “Carolina”:

The despot treads thy sacred sands,

The pines give shelter to his bands,

Thy sons stand with idle hands,

Carolina !

From the heart of Maryland comes the stirring poem of James
Ryder Randall’s, “My Maryland” :

The despot’s heel is on thy shore,

Maryland !

His torch is at thy temple door,

Maryland !

The Confederacy is organized, its government established.
Patriotic sons and daughters of the South, sing from Virginia to
Texas :

Hurrah! Hurrah!

For Southern rights, hurrah!

Hurrah for the Bonnie Blue Flag
That bears the single star !

The months pass wearily by, and the war drags on. The
poets are soldiers now and they write of the incidents of the
struggle, day by day. Thaddeus Oliver touches our hearts with
the tenderness of “All Quiet Along the Potomac Tonight”:

“All quiet along the Potomac,” they say,

Except now and then a stray picket
Is shot as he walks his beat, to and fro
By a rifleman hid in the thicket.

John Reuben Thompson’s “Music in Camp” tells in moving
lines the soldier’s longing for home and family. You remember
two armies “covered hill and plain” as. the band played. Then a

SPRING ISSUE, 1944

17

federal band, “with movement light and tricksy”, played “Dixie”.
And how the Rebels yelled ! “Then the trumpets pealed sonorous,”
and the band played “Yankee Doodle”! And now how the Yan-
kees yelled! Now the bugles sing again. No shout rings upon
the evening air, a holy quiet reigns — “all silent the Yankees stood,
and silent stood the Rebels” —

No unresponsive soul had heard
That plaintive notes appealing
So deeply “Home, Sweet Home”, had stirred
The hidden founts of feeling.

The private soldier dreams in the trenches during the long
nights, and William Gordon McCabe’s “Dreaming in the Trenches”
pictures the girl of his dreams

there in the quaint old room,

Where the fading twilight starts and falls,

Alone in the twilight’s tender gloom

With the shadows that dance on the dim-lit walls.

Alone, while those faces look silently down
From their antique frames in a grim repose —

Slight scholarly Ralph in his Oxford gown
And stanch Sir Allan, who died for Montrose.

Marie Ravenel De La Coste, in her moving poem, “Somebody’s
Darling”, brings to us the death scene of a noble Southern lad in
an army hospital :

Into a ward of the white-washed walls
Where the dead and the dying lay,

Wounded by bayonets, shells and balls
Somebody’s darling was borne one day.

Somebody’s darling, so young and brave,

Wearing still on his pale sweet face —

Soon to be hid by the dust of the grave —

The lingering light of his boyhood’s grace.

The knightly deeds of the Confederate warrior move Francis
Ticknor to tell in tender pathos the story of Little Giffen, the son
of a Tennessee blacksmith: “smitten of grapeshot ana gangrene —
eighteenth battle and he sixteen”. Then the poet tells how the boy

18

ALABAMA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

soldier outwitted death, and how the crippled skeleton learned to
write. Then one day news came that Johnston, his old commander,
was pressed at the front. And you remember how Little Giffen
was up and away. ‘Til write if spared — there was news of the
fight, But none of Giffen! He did not write.” And then you recall
the noble thought of the poet :

I sometimes fancy that were I king

Of the princely knights of the Golden Ring,

With the song of the minstrel in mine ear
And the tender legend that trembles here,

I'd give the best on his bended knee,

The whitest soul of my chivalry,

For little Giffen of Tennessee.

The war continues on. The sons of the South on hundreds
of battlefields prove that greater love and lay down their lives for
their country and their friends at home. A Southern hero dies on
the field of battle and the poet sings, as John Reuben Thompson
did, in his elegy in memory of General Turner Ashby, who fell at
Harrisonburg as he moved on foot toward the enemy, crying :
“Forward, my brave men.”

To the brave all homage render,

Weep, ye skies of June!

With a radiance pure and tender,

Shine, oh saddened moon !

“Dead upon the field of glory”,

Hero fit for song and story,

Lies our bold dragoon.

Pelham, the “Great Cannoneer”, dies at the head of his men
at Kelly’s Ford, and John Esten Cook, in his poem, the “Band in
the Pines”, pens the unforgettable lines :

Oh, band in the pinewood cease !

Cease with your splendid call ;

The living are brave and noble,

But the dead are bravest of all !

Oh, band in the pinewood cease !

Or the heart will melt with tears,

SPRING ISSUE, 1944

19

For the gallant eyes and the smiling lips,

And the voices of old years.

Now the War for Southern Independence is ended. The hopes
of the South lie crushed and bleeding. The Bonnie Blue Flag that
waved so proudly and defiantly in happier days has become “The
Conquered Banner” of Father Ryan :

Furl that Banner, for ’tis weary;

Round its staff ’tis drooping dreary ;

Furl it, fold it, it is best;

For there’s not a man to wave it,

And there’s not a sword to save it,

And there’s not one left to lave it
In the blood which heroes gave it ;

And its foes now scorn and brave it ;

Furl it, hide it, let it rest !

The Soldier of the North

In the tenderness and sweetness of this memorable hour, let
it be said that the Soldier of the Confederacy and the Southerner
think with admiration and kindness of the Sons of the North who
followed Grant in the trying days of old. In this hour we pay
tribute to the courage and valor of the Northern Soldiers, and we
remember the gallantry and loyalty with which they fought under
the Stars and Stripes. They fought for the principles they believed
just and right, and chivalrously died defending the ideals inherited
from their fathers.

The Tragic Era

Brave as you and your comrades were in time of war on the
field of battle, braver yet were you in the trying days that followed
“The Surrender”, the twelve years known in American History as
‘The Tragic Era’ or ‘Reconstruction’.

The kind and conciliatory Abraham Lincoln lay in a martyr’s
grave but a few days after Appomattox. All of his sensible poli-
cies were scrapped in a spirit of hate and vengeance. The South
was to be crushed so that it could never rise again. Your civil
and military leaders were arrested and chained in dungeons. You

20

ALABAMA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

were branded as traitors. Members of the Confederate cabinet
were hunted down as criminals. The South was subjected to
every indignity that cunning and hatred could devise. Personal
ambitions and party motives moved those in control of the Wash-
ington government to put the people of the South to torture. Of
this Traigc Era, Mr. Bowers has truthfully noted: “Never have
American public men in responsible positions, directing the destiny
of the nation, been so brutal, so hypocritical and corrupt. The
Constitution was treated as a door-mat on which politicians and
army officers wiped their feet after wading in the muck. Never
has the Supreme Court been treated with such ineffable contempt,
and never has that tribunal so often cringed before the clamor of
the mob.”

Because the Southern States exercised their reserved right to
withdraw from the Union, and because you followed the teachings
of your fathers, and the teachings of the Founding Fathers of this
Republic, you and your comrades and your people were denied,
during those twelve years, the right to vote, the right to hold of-
fice, and the right to sit on juries. Your State governments were
abolished. Your States became parts of military districts and fed-
eral military commanders set aside your constitutions, your laws
and your State officers, and terrorized your people. Your States
were treated as conquered provinces. Never, in all the long annals
of history, has a defeated people been treated so cruelly and so
shamefully.

But your courage, your daring, your resourcefulness and your
iron determination ended that horrible nightmare of reconstruction
and redeemed your States and your people from the rule of the
Scalawag and the Carpet Bagger. You restored Anglo-Saxon civ-
ilization to the South, and finally the States of the Southern Con-
federacy, unshackled and unfettered, stood erect once more, to
take their rightful place in the government of their country.

The deeds you did, the difficulties you overcame, and the
courage you showed in those twelve tragic years after the South
laid down her arms, and accepted in good faith the arbitrament of
war, today bring the glow of pride and admiration to the cheek
of every loyal American who loves country, and bring you the
everlasting gratitude of the people of the Southern States.

What God Has Spared You To See

Our Heavenly Father has generously given you length of days
that you might live to see your stricken land, “a land scarred and
riven by the plowshare of war and billowed with the graves of
her dead”, rise from the ashes and rebuild her civilization.

You have lived to see the sons of the South fill with honor
and distinction the highest offices in the land. Woodrow Wilson,
Virginia born, won enduring fame in the White House of the Na-
tion. Edward D. White, a Confederate veteran, became one of
the great chief justices of the United States, and Southerners like
L. Q. C. Lamar, Joseph R. Lamar, Horace H. Burton and James
F. Byrnes have sat with honor upon the court.

In the cabinets of our presidents have served since the War
for Southern Independence capable statesmen and distinguished
Americans — men like A. H. Garland, Hilary A. Herbert, Jacob M.
Dickinson, Luke E. Wright, Carter Glass, Daniel C. Roper and
Cordell Hull.

In the War with Spain Joe Wheeler won immortal glory at
Santiago and Hobson won the plaudits of the Nation when he
sank the Merrimac.

On every battlefield of the first World War, and on all the
seas, the sons of the South, with the patriotism learned at your
knees, fought manfully and gave their lives that freedom might
not perish from the earth.

In today’s great struggle, hearts stoutened with the courage
you gave them, souls strengthened with your spirit, and wills im-
bued with your indomitable determination, the Sons of the South
are hourly exemplifying the noblest attributes of American man-
hood, and are winning a victory that is destined to be the greatest
and noblest in the long history of mankind, for they are rolling
back the tides of cruelty, oppression and wrong.

God has let your days be long in the land. He has brought
you to this hour that you might see with your own eyes the dark-
ness recede and the morning light break across the hills as barbar-
ism and tyranny are scourged, mortally wounded, back to their

22

lairs. He has permitted you to lift up your eyes and see the flags
of the Allied Nations waving proudly in the breezes in all the
grace and beauty of their symbolism, floating victoriously and de-
fiantly o’er land and sea, and blessing with the rippling of their
folds a world in which Freedom, Justice, Decency and Peace shall
dwell forevermore.

Well Done, Good and Faithful Soldiers

And now, as we come to the close of this solemn hour in your
final reunion, take with you, Venerable Veterans of the Confed-
eracy, from the beauty of this hallowed place, and from the sweet-
ness of this hour, to strengthen and bless you, to be your stay and
comfort, the knowledge that the Sons and Daughters of the South,
and true Americans everywhere, stand today in tribute to you and
the ideals which you nourished.

Your people remember, with a gratitude which shall never
wane, the bravery and sacrifices you made during the days of The
Sixties, and they recall with loving appreciation the courage and
patience with which you threw off the oppressor’s yoke and re-
builded your shattered civilization at the end of that bloody strug-
gle. They are grateful that you have preserved the blessings of
Anglo-Saxon civilization for the happiness and contentment of
countless generations to come.

May the great God of Peace, the God who comforted Jefferson
Davis in the hour of trial, the God who sustained Robert E. Lee
in the day of battle, and the God Stonewall Jackson worshipped
in his tent ,the God who has blessed you during the years of your
long lives, stay close beside you, and walk with you in friendly
companionship the rest of the way and bring you to the Crown of
Life.

When from out Heaven’s blue skies you hear, sweet and low,
like bells at evening pealing, the summons of your warrior com-
rades to come and join them, and to pitch your tents on Fame’s
eternal camping ground, be assured, beloved and honored Soldiers
of the South, you will hear, too, the voice of the Great Commander
saying :

Well done, thou good and faithful soldiers, enter thou
now into the joys of thy Lord.

ROBERT E. LEE

By Marshall Wingfield

(An address delivered at the annual Robert E. Lee Banquet in St.
Louis, in 1944, by Marshall Wingfield, Commander-in-Chief of the Sons
of Confederate Veterans. The banquet was sponsored by Camp Sterling
Price, No. 145, S.C.V.)

One hundred and thirty-seven years ago Napoleon bestrode
the world like a Colossus; Aaron Burr was tried for treason; the
importation of slaves was abolished; Fulton’s steamboat made its
first successful run, and an embargo was passed which forbade
any ship to enter or leave any port of the United States.

But there was no embargo on the port of souls, and so there
came to Stratford in Virginia, the soul of one who was destined
to be the inspiration of mankind as long as the world loves honor.
A fifty-one year old soldier, “Light Horse Harry” Lee, and Anne
Hill Carter who had been his second wife for fourteen years, named
the second of their five children Robert Edward.

A word about Stratford may not be out of place here. The
house stands in Westmoreland County, about a mile from the
south bank of the Potomac. It was built by Thomas Lee, grand-
son of Richard Lee, the emigrant, and given the name of the Lee
estate in England. It has been called the most impresisve pile of
brick on this continent. Not for size, of course, but for historical
significance. In one of its rooms were born two signers of the
Declaration of Independence, — Richard Henry Lee, who moved
the Resolution in Congress to declare the colonies free, and Francis
Lightfoot Lee, his brother.

The law of heredity declares that there is a sense in which
all men are not born free and equal ; that the sins of the fathers
are visited upon the children “unto the third and fourth genera-
tion” ; that to be born in certain families is to enter life handi-
capped by downward-pulling tendencies ; that to be born into
certain other families is to enter life with a distinct advantage.

Robert E. Lee, whose 137th birthday we now celebrate, enter-
ed into life with the cumulative moralities which kings and princes

24

ALABAMA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

cannot confer and which untoward circumstances cannot take
away. Robert E. Lee entered life not with the advantage of
hereditary rank, but with those cumulative virtues which give a
patent of nobility that no college of heralds and arms can ever
bestow. He entered life with the challenge of a noble ancestry.
Sir William Draper writing of the British Army, said that for
years the strictest care was taken to fill the commissions with
such gentlemen as had the glory of their ancestors to support.
Robert E. Lee had the honor of his ancestors to support. He
drew from his father and mother a code which made it treason
to manhood to fear anything but dishonor, and disgrace to quail
before anything but cowardice. He was taught to love truth for
truth’s sake, and to hold that place and power are not so de-
sirable as to be purchased at the price of honor. It was this
idealism which caused him to decline the command of the Federal
Army which Francis P. Blair offered him in April 1861, and
led him to exclaim, “How can I draw my sword upon Virginia,
my native state !”

Heredity gave Lee a great body. Men liked to look upon him.
Not Pericles nor Washington had a nobler physique. He could
assume no attitude that was not graceful. A famous Englishman
who visited Lee while he was encamped near Fredericksburg,
wrote : “General Lee is the most perfect animal form I ever saw.
He is also the most manly and entire gentleman I ever saw. Ad-
ded to his beauty of form and countenance, are his perfect man-
ners. Many men have been great without looking the part. Lee is
great, and his very physique proclaims it. I have seen many of
the great men of my time, and Robert E. Lee is incomparably the
greatest looking of them all.”

Lee was the product of a civilization competent to produce
him. The civilization which existed in the South before the Civil
War, was nourished in the bosom of an agriculture which poured
its wealth into the lap of the world. And notwithstanding the
jeers and sneers of urban society for things rural, the voice of
history declares that most of the world’s great men grew up close
to the soil. In the quiet fields and woods of Westmoreland County,
Lee captured a quality of life which is all too elusive in the stir-
ring life of cities. And the serenity of soul which came to him
then he kept to the end, even in the midst of war shock and under
the exciting sounds of battle.

While heredity and environment must be taken into the record
in any accounting for Lee, these forces certainly are not the whole
explanation of his exceptional personality. The son of a noble
ancestry and of a brilliant civilization, may be so weak-willed as
to lose the benefits of both. Lee appropriated his fine heritage
by the exercise of a great purpose. It is within the realm of the
will that man comes to true greatness. It was by the power of
a great purpose that Lee came to the peaks of great achieving.

Lee’s fine body and distinguished family both had their perils.
He might have surrendered to pride in heredity, brilliant marriage
and a great estate, but he willed it otherwise. Instead of taking
the leisure which he might have considered his native right, he
applied himself to a profession. He was not snobbishly interested
in his pedigree. When a genealogist proposed to trace out his
lineage he replied very simply : “The money would be better
spent in helping the poor.” Nor was Lee conscious of his fine
body. He took his graces for granted.

Men shape circumstances, and circumstances shape men. Lee
came to national notice at a later period in life than any other
great American. It is not likely that he would have come to
national notice at all had it not been for the War of the States.
Nullification had been considered a settled issue for thirty years.
But nothing is ever a settled issue in a democracy. And so the
Southern States seceded. As a native Southerner, I submit that
love of freedom was behind secession. And I also submit that
a broader view of freedom would have saved the country from secession.
I refer to that view of freedom which was held by “The Tentmaker
of Tarsus” who declared, “Though I am free, I bring myself under
bondage that I may gain the more freedom.”

It is clear from our vantage point, that a permanently divided
union would have abridged the freedom which we enjoy today
as citizens of states that are united. We had to forego a freedom
from something in order to have a larger freedom — the freedom for
something. When freedom is for something, as well as from somthing,
it is always richer and finer. We are never wiser than when we
curtail our own liberties in order to win a larger freedom. That
was the lesson America learned after the war had put Yankee
Doodle on the pension list and Dixie on crutches.

The men in blue went home to cities and farms that had not
been invaded. They returned as victors. Five of their army
officers went on to the White House. That is a danger which fol-
lows every war. The brilliant soldier is often pushed into the
place of the chief executive, though military genius certainly does
not argue fitness for the presidency.

The men in gray went back to devastated farms and ruined
cities, to begin all over again. What did their “good gray chief-
tain’’ do? Benjamin Morgan Palmer said in New Orleans at a
memorial service held while Lee was being buried in Virginia,
“There is a grandeur in misfortune when borne by a noble heart
without complaining or breaking and that grandeur was the crown
of Lee.” Lee might have had an imposing home in England,
and an ample annuity from an admiring member of the British
peerage ; but he said, “I cannot desert my people.” He might
have had a large annual income by merely lending his name
to an American business concern; but he said, “I cannot accept
money which I have not earned.” He resolved to stay with his
people and to give them the benefit of his example. Lee’s true
greatness appeared in the post-war years of collapse and frustra-
tion. Waterloo was the end of Napoleon, but Appomattox was
the beginning of Lee.

After Appomattox, Lee proved that nothing is so unconquer-
able as the soul which defies mischance and disaster. The soldier
who became a college president built better than he knew. He
believed that the future belonged to educated people. President
Jefferson had said that people could be trusted if they were in-
formed. How to inform them — how to keep information uncolored
by partisanship and undistorted by special interests — was the ques-
tion which vexed Jefferson, and which still vexes us.

In disaster Lee continued to lead the people of the South. He
refused to defend himself, or to discuss the past, or to harbor
bitterness. It was his conviction that now allegiance to the united
country was the only honorable and intelligent course. His post-
war years were free from dramatics and heroics. One may look at
them steadily and then say with Milton’s “Samson Agonistes”,

“Nothing is here for tears, nothing to wail,

Or knock the breast, no weakness, no contempt,

Dispraise or blame.”

SPRING ISSUE, 1944

27

Too proud to supplicate, save at the Throne of God, too brave
to bow the head under the bludgeonings of fate, Lee set to work
with battered and broken tools to help rebuild the shattered for-
tunes of his people. And under the inspiration of his example,
his fellowmen have so wrought, that from the ashes of disaster
and the dust of desolation “the South has been raised from the
dead, though the prints of the nails are still in its hands and the
scar of the spear thrust is still in its side.”

Southern chivalry is frequently alluded to by the stranger with
derision. But it was more than a name. It was a spirit, — the
spirit of those gentler humanities without which no man can
rightly lay claim to the title of gentleman. Some one has said :
“Chivalry is written large in the history of this Republic. It was
chivalry which faced the unknown West with fearless hearts and
carved an empire out of the heritage of the Montezumas ; it stayed
the heart of Taylor and Bragg on the blazing heights of Buena
Vista; it buoyed the spirit of Scott and Lee before the walls
of Mexico; it kept the faith at Valley Forge and Yorktown; it
met undismayed the red storm of fire and blood at Chancellors-
ville and the Wilderness ; it marched up the stony ridge at Gettys-
burg as if on a holiday excursion ; it did not draw back from the
mortal trenches at Petersburg.”

There are those who admit the chivalry of the deeds of Valley
Forge, Yorktown, Buena Vista and the Alamo, but who deny it
to the stirring deeds of Southern men in the War of the States,
on the grounds that the latter were performed in a base cause.
Meaning, of course, that the deeds were done in order to hold
a people in bondage. How long will supposedly enlightened men
believe that the War of the States was fought on the issue of
slavery? If there had been no war, the institution of slavery
would soon have been outlawed by the developing conscience of
mankind. From conscientious scruples alone, many slaveholders
had liberated their slaves before the outbreak of the war, and
yet they were as ardent champions of the Southern cause as any
slaveholder. Let men who profess to be intelligent have done
with the error that the War of the States was “a slaveholder’s
war.” It was a war for States Rights. It was a conflict between
the Federal and the State governments, between the tyranny of
centralization, which has come again, and the democracy of sov-
ereign states. It was a contest for power. Nor was the War of

28

ALABAMA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

the States the first conflict between these two opposing forces.
We must not forget that these two ideas strove together from
the very time the nation was founded, and once, at least, with
almost fatal results.

There was never a time from 1787 to 1860, when the strife
between the Union and the States was quiescent. This strife
began at the birth of the nation. It was intensified by the forma-
tion and adoption of the Constitution of 1787. It was further
aggravated by the struggle of 1820, relative to the admission of
Missouri into the Union. The fierce contest regarding the Tariff
in 1832, the issue of the Mexican War, and the repeal of the
Missouri Compromise, — all these added further fuel to the fire.
The question of slavery was seized upon by those who were al-
ready irritated, and thus a multitude of currents converged to
form the flood which swept away the voluntary union of the States.

From the maelstrom of the Civil War we soon shall have
naught but written story. The last of those who fought its battles
will soon have folded their tents and departed. The bitterness
between the North and South will pass. The valor of our fathers
will live forever. The years will rust the hostile guns and level
the old trenches and rifle pits, but through all these changes,
there shall stand in immutable splendor the name of Robert E.
Lee, as secure in the firmament of history as the stars are in the
heavens. And as the silent procession of the ages shall pass into
the quiet halls of history, our children, and children’s children,
will gain inspiration from this man who looms majestic from the
ashes of disaster. And when that relentless Spirit of the Hour
Glass and Scythe which we call Time, shall have measured off
a thousand years, those who love heroism and devotion will re-
call the good grey face of Robert E. Lee who placed his all in
the scales of his people and lost all save honor. The time will
come when every section of America will unite in the exalted
language of B. H. Hill, and declare that Lee “was a foe without
hate ; a friend without treachery ; a soldier without cruelty ; a
victor without oppression ; and a victim without murmuring. He
was a public officer without vices; a private citizen without wrong;
a neighbor without reproach ; a Christian without hypocrisy and
a man without guile. He was Caesar, without his ambition ;
Frederick, without his tyranny; Napoleon, without his selfishness
and Washington without his reward.”

SPRING ISSUE, 1944

29

The time will come when we shall be able to speak of the
heroism of our fathers without stirring up sectional animosities.
As the victories of Pompey and of Caesar were the common re-
nown of Rome, so the achievements of both North and South
shall become the common renown of America. As the red rose
and the white rose are now blended in British history, so the
Blue and the Grey shall be blended in the garment of American
history. The Athenians and the Spartans erected monuments of
perishable wood to celebrate victories over their own fellow-
countrymen, but they built monuments of enduring stone to com-
memorate their triumphs over foreign foes. The Romans never
permitted a triumph to any victor in their civil wars. If the
peoples called heathen refused to perpetuate the hatreds of their
civil life, shall we be less magnanimous?

Regional lines and sectional differences will no doubt continue,
but they will continue as landmarks of that diversity which is the
law of the universe. I have heard of an American politician who
so wanted the votes of all the people in the audience that he
shouted, “I know no North or South; I know no East or West.”
Whereupon an urchin in the gallery piped out, “Mister, you better
go home and study your goggerfy.” It is not likely that the time
will ever come when we shall be able to love all sections alike,
any more than we shall be able to love all persons alike. But why
may we not believe that the highest patriotism is the patriotism
which loves one’s own region best?

“God gave all men all earth to love,

But since our hearts are small,

Ordained for each one spot should prove
Beloved over all.”

And, assuredly, there is one thing which we may devoutly be-
lieve, namely, that the time will never come when Americans of
other sections shall think it treason for Southerners to pause on
Lee’s birthday to look once more on the bonnie blue flag which
was borne by hands that now are folded, blest by lips that now
are dust, and loved by hearts that now are still. Our fathers
santcified that flag by the noblest blood of the Anglo-Saxon race.
After having consecrated it with the baptism of blood on many
a well-fought field, they baptized it with tears at Appomattox.
And by their blood, and by their tears, we who are their sons

30

ALABAMA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

and daughters, call on the Most High to witness our vow that
we shall never become so engrossed in material things that we
shall fail to pause now and then and recall the good grey face and
the vanished years, that they may speak to us once more of a
valor that should never die.

As long as time shall last, we shall see our good grey chief-
tain as he was in the days after Appomattox. We shall see him
as, oppressed by ill-health and by the sense of defeat, he set about
rebuilding his shattered South with all the constancy and resolu-
tion he had shown in war. We shall see him as, in the early
autumn of 1865, he rides out of Richmond. The victorious Fed-
eral Army had come to Virginia’s Capitol. Its generals rode
through the streets of the city and on into comparative obscurity.
But now another horseman comes. Even the name of his steed is
destined to outlive some of the conquering generals. “Traveler”
is bespattered with mud for the autumn rains have set in. His
head droops as if to express the sadness which his rider hides.
Rectitude and self-respecting griefs are written in the furrows of
the rider’s face. The horseman’s very carriage proclaims that
he wears invisible badges of victory and carries spoils of honor
in his heart. His garments are worn from hard service, but the
majestic composure of the wearer transforms his clothing into
royal raiment. His leggings are mud-spattered, but to the eyes
of those who watch him ride away, these old leggings are part
of the armor of a very gallant knight. There are no visible ban-
ners streaming over this grey-bearded horseman. He rides not
at the head of a victorious army. There are no crowds to hail
him. He rides alone. He rides alone in the rain. Whither
bound is this solitary horseman? He is bound for Lexington to
take, at $1500 per year, the presidency of a little college which
bears the name of Washington, but which, through all the com-
ing years, is destined to wear the added name of Lee. Is that
as far as this lone horseman is riding? Ah, no! He is riding
farther than Lexington. He is riding farther than the confines of
Virginia whose boundaries were described in an old book as ex-
tending “as far west as may be convenient.” He is riding farther
than the shores of America. He is riding farther than the fabled
winged horse, Pegasus, could take him. He is riding into the
hearts of all people who love honor. He is riding to one of the

SPRING ISSUE, 1944

31

high hills of history, so that man might look up and learn how
to win honor from defeat and how to make failure glorious.
This vanquished victor of the stainless soul is riding forward to
take an undisputed place in the halls of universal fame.

ORIGIN OF SLAVERY IN AMERICA

By Mattie F. Allison

(This paper on the Origin of Slavery in America is one of a number
preserved in the archives of the Virginia Clay-Clopton Chapter, U. D. C.,
Huntsville, Ala., and placed in the Alabama State Department of Archives
and History through the courtesy of Miss Alice McCravey, of Huntsville.)

A search-light back through the temple of time reveals the
fact that from time immemorial, slavery in some form existed,
but that is not within my province, save to mention, that as early
as 1442 Antonio Goncalvez carried a cargo of negroes to Portugal.
Such was the beginning of the African trade, and in 1445, slave-
marts were opened in Africa, and the trade took on an activity
that lasted for centuries. The negro slavery of modern times was
a sequel to the discovery of America. The same year that marks
the meeting of the first Assembly in Virginia, 1619, a portentous
personage appeared on the soil of North America — the African
slave. A Dutch vessel sailed up the James River and offered for
sale to the planters twenty negroes captured on the cost of Africa.
They were purchased and put to work on the tobacco plantations.
These were the first slaves. To the men who watched the landing
of this handful of negroes, it was doubtless rather an unimportant
matter. Yet it was the small beginning of a system that was des-
tined to exert an immense influence upon our country. Indeed,
it may be likened to the tiny cloud before the storm, in the days
of the prophets of old. This was the origin and commencement
of slavery in the United States. It is significant to note that in
the year that Harvard College was founded, 1636, the first slave-
ship built in America, was launched at Marblehead, Mass. It was
used for transporting to this country slaves captured on the coast
of Africa. Two years later this same ship brought the first cargo
of negro-slaves into Massachusetts, to be sold to the settlers. This
was the beginning of an extensive trade by which negroes were
carried in New England ships, to all English Colonies and their
owners grew rich in the traffic. The slave-trade was attended
often with extreme inhumanity. The vessels which transported
the negroes from Africa to America were overcrowded to such
an extent that a large proportion died in the passage over, and
the treatment of the negro slave after his arrival and sale de-
pended much upon the character of his master. There seems to

SPRING ISSUE, 1944

33

have been no difference of opinion as to the right to sell him, as
they were captives, and their servitude was until death. The
negro-trader was generally held in odium. Often the mother was
sold from her children, and families were separated. How un-
happy those first slaves must have been, torn from their homes,
taken to a strange land, with a strange language, confronted by a
race of different color, not able to understand ; treated often with
cruelty. How terrified and stupefied they must have been. In
the northern states with their cold climate, commercial pursuits
and small farms, the negro number was never very large. Slavery
established itself firmly in the Southern colonies, where the great
tobacco, rice and cotton plantations created a demand for labor.
The negro seems specially designed by nature for Southern field
work, his black skin and thick skull rendering him almost imper-
vious to the sun’s heat. The negro in the cotton field singing is
always a picturesque object. In the South, the slaves increased
as rapidly as rabbits in a burrow, and at the close of the French
War, there were not less than 500,000 of whom 8/9 were south
of Mason and Dixon’s line. Just for remembrance, I take the
following notice from the Boston Times, September 6, 1773 — “I will
sell two fine male slaves to-morrow, at 16 Anne St., to ye highest
bidder, 11 o’clock.” In the Post Boy June 8, 1771 are these notable
words : — “A negro woman, or wench — are to be sold — inquire of
the printer.” In the Gazetteer of April 18, 1779, was the notification
of the proposed sale of a black boy, sundry horses, and “Tim
Whiskey”, a little worse for wear, the former being named last,
as least important. Again in the Post Boy July 6, 1771, much in the
same spirit, is advertized a convenient pew in Kings Chapel and
a likely negro man. Prior to that date was a long list of second
hand furniture, a very likely looking live black moose, and a big
negro man. It is interesting to know that an indictment in Wor-
cester County, 1791, against a white man for beating a black one,
was the basis of action in the Supreme Court, in which a resolution
in the Declaration of Independence, was cited with triumphant
effect against the master who was found guilty and fined 40 shil-
lings. This resulted in practically the extinction of slavery in
Massachusetts. It never recovered from the blow. At that time
there were hundreds of slaves in New Hampshire, Connecticut
and Rhode Island. At one time Lafette, the pirate, captured sev-
eral cargoes of negroes, bound for the coast of Massachusetts and
sold them into Louisiana. As late as a few years back there was
an old negro slave in Courtland, Ala., whose body was tattooed.

34

He came from Africa. It was singular that while slavery was
legalized in the British Colonies, it was at the same time, a law
in England (1772) as soon as a slave set foot in England, he was
free. If he returned to America he was reclaimed. The word
slavery conjures up much that is pleasant, from that far-off time.
Old memories come back like visions, and always with the sweet-
ness that gilds the past. One of these, that memory holds very
dear, and dwells on with love, is of my kind old Mammy. She
was of Indian blood and had the high cheek bones, bright piercing
eyes and coarse straight hair of her race. Only hers was gray —
hair that we children begged eagerly to comb, a privilege which
was granted, with the injunction not to pull hard. In my day she was
too old to work, and spent her time under the spreading branches
of an apple-tree, on which climbed a hop-vine, knitting an endless
number of socks of coarse gray yarn. I never knew who wore
them. I can close my eyes and see that peaceful picture with
startling vividness. We clustered around her like bees and car-
ried all our little woes to her. She soothed our childish grief with
unvarying kindness, for she loved her nurslings, bad though we
were. Under that dark skin beat a heart, honest and true. No
one ever sang, or ever will again like Mammy. We used to sit
entranced under the spell of her wierd old songs. We all prom-
ised her that when we grew up and married, and there were little
one, one should bear her name. The childish promise was never
fulfilled. As far as I know Mammy Phillis never had a namesake.
Her faithfulness ended only with death. An incident that is mirth-
provoking instead of tearful was of this same period. Among my
Father’s house-hold servants was a strong strapping young negro,
whose name was Christopher Columbus, called Kit, for short, (he
was long afterwards a well known town character). He had been
guilty of some grave disobedience, and needed the ministrations
of a hickory or birch, wielded by a strong hand. This power was
vested in the person of Marshall Franks, who was town-whip per. My
Father sent Kit to him with a sealed note, containing instructions,
telling him to wait for an answer. On the way, Kit, who was a
smart negro, “began to smell a rat”, met Warren, an ignorant
negro boy my Father had recently purchased, and gave him the
note, with the order. Kit waited in hiding close by and Warren
went in and got the — answer. Upon being questioned later, at
home, Kit’s defense was: “You see Marse William, I was tuk with
a powful sickness, peered to me like I was gwyne die, dere in the
street. I seed Warren and I gin it to him and Lord, Marse Wil-

SPRING ISSUE, 1944

35

liam, Warren sure got it bad.” I have heard my Father laugh
heartily in telling this, and he afterward published it. I know the
Chapter are wondering what connection these two pictures from
a far away past, have to do with my subject, and rightly they do
not belong here. An over-powering memory that would not be
stilled, prompted the writing.

MONUMENT TO NEGRO, HEYWARD SHEPHERD
ERECTED BY DAUGHTERS OF CONFEDERACY AT
HARPER’S FERRY, WEST VIRGINIA. IN 1931.

(One of the guests at the banquet given to the Confederate Veterans
and Sons of Veterans in Montgomery during the Reunion held in Mont-
gomery, Sept. 27-28, 1944, proposed that a monument should be erected to
Negro slaves faithful to their masters and their masters’ families. Mrs. L.
M. Bashinsky, one of the distinguished guests at the banquet, arose and in-
formed the gentleman that the Daughters of the Confederacy had already
discharged that obligation and explained that in 1931 a boulder was un-
veiled at Harper’s Ferry, West Virginia, to the memory of Heyward
Shepherd and other Negroes faithful to their duties in the troubled crisis
of the War Between the States. The Editor of this magazine approached
Mrs. Bashinsky at the conclusion of the banquet and asked her for the ad-
dress which she had made as President-General of the U.D.C. at the unveil-
ing of the monument. The address was located in an issue of the publica-
tion Confederate Veteran of November 1931, and is herewith reproduced
for the information of our white and colored citizens. In the Minutes of
the General Convention held in Jacksonville, Fla., in the Fall of 1931, Mrs.
Bashinsky in her report as President-General of the organization gave the
history of the movement that culminated in the erection and unveiling of
the monument. She explained that eleven years previously, at the Ashe-
ville, N. C., Convention, Mrs. Roy W. McKinney, President-General,
recommended the placing of this boulder at Harper’s Ferry. The boulder
was procured and with the expectation of placing it on the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad property was inscribed to that effect but the railroad of-
ficials never gave their consent to the Daughters to place the monument
at the locality where Shepherd received his fatal wounds. Through the in-
tervening years Mrs. Bashinsky having learned that Dr. Matthew Page
Andrews was the first to suggest this memorial, wrote to him asking him
to interview the Mayor and leading citizens of the town of Harper’s Ferry,
with the view to interesting them in placing the Shepherd memorial there.
Finally through the Mayor, Mr. James Ransom, with the unanimous ap-
proval of the Council, a lot was provided near the scene of the tragedy.
The small triangular plat was given to the Daughters of the Confederacy
by Dr. Walter E. Dittmeyer, son of the Union sympathizer. This change
of location necessitated some changes in the wording on the face of the
boulder, all of which was reincised. All arrangements of the dedicatory
program were referred to Dr. Andrews who initiated the idea of the mon-
• ument and the occasion gave universal staisf action.)

Address by Mrs. L. M. Bashinsky, President General, U. D. C., at
the dedication of the Faithful Slave Memorial, Harper's Ferry, W . V a.,
October 19, 1931.

In a happy sense this is an outstanding day in the history oi
the United Daughters of the Confederacy, since it marks the con-
summation of efforts extending through several years — efforts that
find fruition and culmination in the exercises of this hour.

We are sometimes asked, “Why look back?” “Why remem-
ber?” We answer in the language of the great statesman: “Look-
ing backward is looking forward. Those never look forward who
never look backward.” The command “to remember” is written
large in the Book of Books from the terrific thunder of Sinai to
the seraphic visions of Patmos.

Indeed, memorials as an aid to memory are as old as time
from the most beautiful, the radiant bow of promise — “when I
bring a cloud over the earth, the bow shall be seen in the cloud,
and I will remember my covenant” — to the most sacred, the Chris-
tian Eucharist, “This do in remembrance of Me.”

We are told that Memnon, at the rising of the sun, sang to
the Libyan Sands of the unreturning Brave, and we know that
stones from the bed of the Jordan erected as a memorial on its
banks testified to the passage over the river dry-shod of the Is-
raelites from their Wilderness wanderings into the Land of Prom-
ise.

It is fitting, then, that we should gather here in this pic-
turesque town, amid all the lavish natural beauty which encom-
passes it, to pay tribute to the memory of Heyward Shepherd, a
colored man, a freed man, who gave his life in defense of his em-
ployer’s property, and in memory of many others of his race who
were loyal and true during a period that tried men’s souls.

“He that loseth his life shall find it” is an expression of the
philosophy which inspired Heyward Shepherd to sacrifice life it-
self in defense of a great ideal, that of fidelity to a trust. In Holy
Writ we read: “Whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things
are honorable, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are
just, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good
report, if there be any merit, if there be any praise, think on these

SPRING ISSUE, 1944

39

things.” We are here today to “think on these things.” Heyward
Shepherd’s conduct was honorable, just, and true, and merits the
praise we bring him.

I do not envy the man his composure who can stand unmoved
in presence of the memories that this simple ceremony is calcu-
lated to evoke. Memories that carry us back to that tragic era,
1859, when at this place was delivered the blow which so aggra-
vated the passions of men that it hastened the sounding of the
tocsin of war in the sixties.

John Brown and his friends believed the Negroes would flock
to their call in multitudes to burst the shackles of slavery and
bring the inevitable and irrepressible conflict to a quick and de-
cisive end. Shortly before that fatal night, John Brown had a
secret conference with Fred Douglass, the most distinguished
Negro of his age, hoping to enlist his sympathy and induce him
to encourage the Negroes to join the standard of Brown and open
a far-flung race war that would engulf the South in a veritable
maelstrom of inferno. Douglass shrank with horror from the
proposal and predicted that any such effort would end in failure.
As has so frequently happened in history, the real object, that is,
in a narrow sense, the immediate aim and purpose for which the
blow was struck, was never realized, because the methods adopted
were based on error and misunderstanding.

I have sometimes wondered if it could be that those who en-
couraged that enterprise at Harper’s Ferry were entirely ignorant
of the horrors of a race war in Haiti, that lasted from 1791 to
1804? Long, horrible years they were, when the whites were com-
pletely exterminated and Haiti, the richest colony in the posses-
sion of France, was plundered and pillaged and all vestages of
civilization burned and destroyed.

Why was it that a race war failed to materialize in the South,
when it spread like wild fire in Haiti? The only explanation lies
in the differences between the white people and the Negroes in
the South, who merit praise, and those in Haiti, both white and
colored, who deserved condemnation. The destiny of a man and
also the destiny of a nation is largely determined by natural in-
herited characteristics. There is a vast difference between the
Anglo-Saxon and the Latin.

ALABAMA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

In the fierce gladiatorial combats in the Roman arena, a sym-
pathetic, sportsman-like hand was seldom, if ever, extended to the
defeated contender, whose destruction was demanded by the spec-
tators, by the inexorable sign of “thumbs down” and thus sealed
his doom.

On the other hand, it is natural for the Anglo-Saxon to revere
human life and to sympathize with the downtrodden, and despite
the bitter propaganda and flamboyant literature of that period,
the fact remains that, with but few exceptions, the colored people
were well fed, well housed, and well cared for in the South, were
treated humanely, were taught the great truths of God’s Holy
Word, and became ardent believers in their Lord and Saviour.
Provision was made for them to worship in all the churches, and
their quarters rang with the rhythmic music of their spirituals,
their hymns of devotion and religious fervor filling the evening
hours with their “Swing low, Sweet Chariot, coming fer to carry
me home.”

And the “black mammy” — how devoted was she to her white
“chilluns,” and how devoted the white children were to their
“black mammies.” I speak from experience, for ours never left
us until I, the youngest child, was married and the home “broken
up,” the older generation of colored folks having passed to the
Great Beyond. These old mammies formed a necessary and es-
sential element in the family life of the South. They took part in
the birthday festivities of the children, became their confidants
in their love affairs, carried the love missives, were present at the
weddings, and felt proud and elated when their daughters, in turn,
became the attendants of the children of their white “chillun.”
Now, I ask you, how, under such conditions and with such exist-
ing relationships, could the sons of these “mammies” be prevailed
upon to use “spikes and staves” against their white masters and
friends? Fred Douglass was right. It could not be done.

In contrast with these conditions, it is related that in Haiti
the white people were entirely indifferent to the obligations and
responsibilities which civilization and conscience demand. They
loved to revel in ease and luxury and did not shrink from merci-
lessly exploiting their slaves that they might extract the wealth
needed for lives of self-indulgence. They had no concern what-
ever for the spiritual welfare of their slaves, who were permitted

SPRING ISSUE, 1944

41

to revert to paganism and the revolting practices of “voodo” rites.

In his history of Haiti, H. Davis stated: “In fiendish cruelty
there seems to have been but little choice between white and black.
The French burned captured negroes alive, broke their bodies on
wheels of torture, or buried them up to their necks in sand/’ Des-
tiny wills that men “reap what they sow/’

Who today is so ignorant that they would charge the Anglo-
Saxons of the South with being capable of committing such atro-
cious cruelties as these just cited? And who would dare accuse
our Negroes with acts of vengeance as fiendinsh as those of the
Haitian Negroes?

Yet, listen: “The Haitian Negroes came originally from the
same African countries as those brought by the New England
States and sold to the South. They were identical in race and
blood and originally of the same moral fiber. Now, if in Haiti they
were goaded to acts of fiendishness, it was because their white
masters of a higher intelligence had failed them in kindliness and
had made no effort to lift them above the level of their primitive,
pagan superstitions and practices. These super-refined and exquis-
itely polished Creoles “reaped what they had sown.”

In 1859, our nation lived in an atmosphere surcharged with
passion and hatreds. Many people lost their sense of proportions,
and ignorance of the real circumstances induced some to believe
that the colored people would welcome an opportunity to betray
their friends and masters. The effort failed and for logical reasons.
The Southern people had inherited the system of slavery, but they
accepted the inheritance with the weight of all the obligations and
responsibilities that civilization and Christianity impose upon the
human conscience.

Time carries us back to sanity, not only cures all ills, but
restores the bonds of broken friendships and brings into relief
the true perspective of remote events and reestablishes the sense
of proportions. There are lessons in multitudes for those who
observe the pointings of the finger of destiny, but, unfortunately,
men so often fail to profit from lessons so profound and wise.
One of the lessons transmitted as the result of John Brown’s ef-
fort stands out preeminently. It is this : That the character of

42

ALABAMA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

the Negro, his loyalty and his faithfulness, is a reflection of the
example set him by “Ole Master” and “Old Miss.” Because of
the shortcomings of their superiors in Haiti, the Negroes there did
not scruple to avenge themselves in terrible fashion. But, in the
South, where they were treated with kindly consideration and
trained in the eternal verities of Christianity, a feeling of such
trust and confidence existed between the white and colored that
when the war began, the soldiers shouldered arms and went to the
front with full confidence that the women and children were safe
under the protection of the Negroes who would protect their de-
fenseless homes and families. The Negroes knew that a bitter
war was being fought which would vitally affect their destinies,
yet even this did not blind them to their sense of duty, and they
served and protected the women and children of the South with
unwavering loyalty and devotion, qualities which we memorialize
today.

We rejoice in the continual progress of the race; we share
in their pride in the creation of their prosperity, which forms an
important asset to the wealth of our nation ; we sympathize with
their aims and ambitions as directed by men of the type of Dr.
Booker T. Washington and Professor R. R. Moton, and rejoice in
the accomplishment of such splendid institutes as Tuskegee and
Hampton.

But in a more intimate sense and closer to our hearts remains
the old Negro “Mammy,” who with her humility and sweet deco-
rum has become a real institution.

Again I speak from personal experience. The mammy born
in anti-bellum days, who nursed our children, has never left us.
She shares our joys and sorrows, and is a trusted confidante in our
family affairs. She treats my son, a giant of a man, with hair

streaked with silver, as though he were a boy in rompers, and

now and then shows his wife and children her greatest treasure,

the first little shoes which she was first to put on his baby feet.

You know I feel sorry for a child who has never had a real “Mam-
my” ! Old and decrepit, unable to do any work, she occupies a
little rose-covered cottage in our yard, where she will remain un-
til she is called to her eternal home.

Seventy-two years have passed since that tragedy at Harper’s
Ferry. Seventy-two years of constructive thought and effort have
brought us to this glad day in a people’s history.

“A people sane and great,

Forged in strong fires,

In war made one,

Telling old battles over without hate.”

Today the Flag of the Union proudly floats above an undi-
vided and indivisible people; more than one hundred million peo-
ple turn their eyes where the stars shine in their field of azure,
more resplendent than a tropical night ; more than a hundred mil-
lion voices proudly and reverently sing:

“And star-spangled banner, O long may it wave

O’er the land of the free and the home of the brave !”

Our section is true to the national flag, that flag which our
fathers first lifted to the breezes — to that flag that has never
known defeat, as true as the truest. That was demonstrated in
the Spanish-American War, when Fighting Joe Wheeler doffed
his uniform of gray and, resplendent in blue, led the American
forces, the sons of the blue and the sons of the gray, in Cuba;
proven again in the great World War, when the sons of the South,
true to the spirit of their fathers, served no less courageously, no
less sacrificially, under the Stars and Stripes on the battle-rent,
shell-torn fields of France. Yes,

The old South is true to the Union,

A World War has written the test;

But deep in her heart lies another,

The Holy Grail of her quest.

While we are true to the Stars and Stripes, it is also true in
the highest and purest sense that we are loyal to another banner,
the Stars and Bars. Our love for this flag is like that of a mother
who slips away noiselessly to a darkened room — opens a drawer
and takes from its depths the little garments of her sainted child ;
holds them caressingly in her trembling hands ; her tearful eyes
bedew them — then she reverently lays them away and, with a sob
in her heart, turns to meet duties of the day. In pledging our

44

ALABAMA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

allegiance to the Stars and Stripes, we do not agree to forget this
other flag, under whose folds marched armies clad in gray whose
heroic deeds added new honor to American manhood and a brighter
luster to American fame.

As a people we are deeply grateful that within our national
borders all is peace. May gentle Peace, wedded to stalwart Hon-
or, depart from us no more forever. God hasten the time, by
prophets sung, when “nation shall rise against nation no more/’
nor “man’s inhumanity to man make countless thousands mourn” ;
when every war horse shall be hitched to a plow, when every spear
shall become a pruning hook, and every sword shall be converted
into an implement of peaceful husbandry, causing the earth to
smile in verdure where once it was drenched in blood. That glad
day will be the final triumph of the Prince of Peace, when the
mighty angel shall say: “I have gone up and down through the
earth, and the earth sitteth still and is at rest. I heard no tumult
of war, neither noise of battle.”

Today we dedicate this bowlder in memory of Heyward Shep-
herd and to the faithful of his race. It is history in stone. It
commemorates the loyalty, courage, and self-sacrifice of Heyward
Shepherd and thousands of others of his race who would, like
him, have suffered death rather than betray their masters or to
be false to a trust.

It is a cheap and blatant praise that does not seek to translate
into the conduct of the present the ideals of the past, and memo-
rials are meaningless unless we endeavor to express in thought
and deeds those lofty ideals of fidelity, loyalty, courage, and self-
sacrifice which we today commemorate in others.

May this bowlder stand through the coming years as a silent
challenge to men and women to bring to the service of their coun-
try and generation a higher measure of responsibility and a deeper
and truer conception of duty.

A REPLY TO THE CONQUERED BANNER

By Sir Henry Houghton, Bart., England.

It will be seen by this that the sympathy of people of other
lands, and especially our Mother Country, was not altogether on
one side. To this day great respect is shown those who fought
on the Southern side, and far more of consideration expressed now
that we have gone so far away from the prejudice and passion of
those days. Recently, while in London, I had the privilege of
being the guest of Lord Kinnaird, a man as well distinguished for
his Christianity as for his splendid success in business life. An-
other gentleman present, speaking of the war, turned to me and
said, “Give me the history of that war” ; to which I replied that it
might be done in one sentence: “The people of New England

brought slaves from Africa and traded them to us in the South for
molasses, and sugar and cotton, and then came and fought us and
took them away from us.” This seemed to satisfy my questioner,
and I hope it will not be denied or severely criticised by my reader.
Amen.

Gallant nation, foiled by numbers !

Say not that your hopes are fled ;

Keep that glorious flag which slumbers,

One day to avenge your dead.

Keep it, widowed, sonless mothers !

Keep it, sisters, mourning brothers !

Furl it with an iron will;

Furl it now but keep it still —

Think not that its work is done.

Keep it till your children take it,

Once again to hall and make it,

All their sires have bled and fought for ;

All their nobles hearts have sought for —

Bled and fought for all alone.

All alone ! ay , shame and story !

Millions here deplore the stain ;

Shame, alas ! for England’s glory,

Freedom called, and called in vain !

Furl that canner sadly, slowly,

Treat it gently, for ’tis holy;

Then once more unfurl it gladly —

Conquered banner ! keep it still !

SAM DAVIS

(The facts presented below were written by a member of the Virginia
Clay-Clopton Chapter of the Daughters of the Confederacy, Huntsville,
Alabama, and preserved in the collections of the Chapter by the Secretary,

The author failed to sign her name but the facts are well known to history.

The poem interpreting the spirit of Sam Davis was written by John Trot-
wood Moore, and read by the author at the unveiling ceremonies of the
Sam Davis Monument in Pulaski, Tenn.)

Sam Davis, a young Confederate soldier from Tennessee join-
ed the army in 1861 as a member of Captain Coleman’s Scouts and
soon became one of his most trusted men. In September of 1863,
he with several men were detached to go to Nashville and vicinity
to ascertain the strength of the Federal forces. Young Davis was
captured as a spy near Pulaski in November and taken to the
headquarters of the Federal General Dodge where he was search-
ed. Papers were found on his person and stitched in his saddle
containing descriptions of the fortifications at Nashville and other
points. There was also an exact report of the Federal Army in
Tennessee. The information was of such a character that General
Dodge knew the information had been gained from some one in
his own forces. He tried every means to make Davis tell who
gave him the information but the boy soldier was firm. His an-
swer was : “General Dodge, I know the danger of my situation
and am willing to take the conesquences.” He was tried by court
martial and condemned to be hung, Friday, November 27, 1863.
When the sentence was read to him he showed no fear and to the
end showed himself a hero. The night before the execution he
wrote his mother a letter bidding her good-bye.

The gallows was on a hill in full view of the square. Young
Davis rode to the gallows on his coffin. A few minutes before
his execution an officer of General Dodge’s staff, Captain Chick-
asaw, was seen galloping towards the gallows. He jumped from
his horse and went to Davis and said : “It is not too late yet. Give
me the name of the traitor and you are a free man.”

Davis turned upon him and said : “If I had a thousand lives
I would lose them all before I would betray my friends or the
confidence of my informer.”

48

Turning to the Chaplain he gave him a few keepsakes for his
mother, then said to the provo marshal : “I am ready,” and stepped
upon the trap. The body of the noble young man was buried in
Maplewood at Pulaski but a few days later a friend and neighbor,
John Kennedy and a younger brother, came in a two horse wagon
and carried the body to his home near Smyrna, Tenn., where he
had been born in 1842 and where he was buried. He was identi-
fied by the clothes he wore, a suit of home-spun gray made by his
mother. The Daughters of the Confederacy of Pulaski have erect-
ed a beautiful monument to the memory of this gallant young
Southerner, located in the public square of that city facing his be-
loved Southland for which he gave his young life.

“Tell me his name and you are free,”

The General said, while from the tree
The grim rope dangled threat’ningly.

The birds ceased singing — happy birds,

That sang of home and mother — words,

The sun kissed his cheek — dear sun ;

It loves a life that’s just begun!

The very breezes held their breath
To watch the fight twixt life and death.

And O, how calm and sweet and free.

Smiled back the hills of Tennessee!

Smiled back the hills, as if to say,

“O, save your life for us to-day.”

“Tell me his name and you are free,”

The General said, “and I shall see
You safe within the rebel line —

I’d love to save such life as thine.”

A tear gleamed down the ranks of blue —

(The bayonets were tipped with dew),

Across the rugged cheek of war

God’s angels rolled a teary star.

The boy looked up — ’twas this they heard :
“And would you have me break my word?”

A tear stood in the General’s eye !

“My boy, I hate to see thee die —

Give me the traitor’s name and fly !”

Young Davis smiled, as calm and free
As he who walked on Galilee :

“Had I a thousand lives to live,

Had I a thousand lives to give,

I’d lose them, nay, I’d gladly die
Before I’d live one life a lie !”

He turned — for not a soldier stirred —
“Your duty men — I gave my word.”

The hills smiled back a farewell smile,

The breezes sobbed o’er his hair awhile,
The birds broke out in glad refrain.

The sunbeams kissed his cheek again —
Then, gathering up their blazing bars,

They shook his name among the stars.

O Stars, that now his brothers are,

O Sun, his sire in truth and light,

Go tell the list’ning worlds afar
Of him who died for truth and right !

For martyr of all martyrs he
Who dies to save an enemy !

“HOUSTON COUNTY IN THE GREAT BEND OF THE

TENNESSEE”

By Oliver D. Street

(In 1904 the late Judge Oliver D. Street read a paper befor the Ten-
nessee Valley Historical Society which he later presented to the Alabama
State Department of Archives and History for permanent preservation.

This paper is printed in this issue of the Alabama Historical Quarterly
because of its unique historical value. Judge Street was one of the Trus-
tees of the Department of Archives and History in its early years and
contributed much to its growth and to public sentiment in its behalf. This
“Narrative of the Establishment by the Legislature of Georgia in 1784
of a new County in the Great Bend of the Tennessee River” brings
to attention an episode in Alabama history of great interest. Judge
Street has documented his article with footnotes and substantiated
from government and other records every statement he has made.)

In 1784, Georgia was a sovereign and independent common-
wealth, owing no duty to and claiming to rights against the
other States, except those scarcely more than moral, prescribed
by the loose compact known as the Articles of Confederation.
Indeed, a degree of rivalry, fear and jealousy existed among the
several States which it is now difficult to understand. Each re-
garded the other as essentially a foreign nation, as a rival in com-
merce and as a possible armed enemy in the future. It was, there-
fore, with much dread and many misgivings that one State wit-
nessed the territorial expansion, or the increase of population and
wealth of a neighbor. Upon no point was this mutual jealousy
and distrust greater than upon that of territorial rights and boun-
daries.

At the time of which we write, Georgia claimed all the terri-
tory between her present boundary and the Mississippi River, and
as far northward as the southern line of the present State of Ten-
nessee. This claim was not, however, undisputed. South Caro-
lina contended with much warmth that a large part of what is
now North Alabama belonged to her by virtue of the colonial
charter which defined her limits. It was under such conditions
that the white man made his first appearance as a factor in the
history of that part of the Tennessee Valley lying in Alabama.
It was in 1783, that a company, consisting of William Blount, his
brothers, John and Thomas, Gen. Joseph Martin, Gen. Griffith

SPRING ISSUE, 1944

51

Rutherford, Col. John Sevier, Gov. Richard Caswell, and Col. John
Donelson, all of North Carolina1 was formed for the purpose of
acquiring title to all the lands lying in the present State of Ala-
bama and north of Tennessee River. Their plan involved the pro-
curing of a grant of the desired tract from either Georgia or South
Carolina (they were indifferent which) and its immediate coloni-
zation and settlement. They calculated with confidence that in
the obscure character of the rival claims of Georgia and South
Carolina, the State under whose authority the region was first
actually occupied would prevail in the dispute, and thus their title
in either event be made good. Actual occupation has always been
regarded among nations as the strongest title to new countries ;
and thus these land adventurers viewed the present case.2

But the desired lands were still in the undisturbed occupancy
of the Indians — not a white settler within their entire limits. The
first step necessary, therefore, was to extinguish the Indian title.
This was accomplished by General Martin in the early fall of 1783,
in consideration of a small quantity of merchandise paid to the
C’herokees, the aboriginal proprietors of the particular piece of
ground in question.

The preliminaries being then disposed of, the speculators pro-
ceeded to make their contemplated assault upon the Legislature
of Georgia, then consisting of a single House. On February 7,
1784, the individuals composing this company presented to the
Legislature a petition, setting* out that they had “made a purchase
of lands on the Tennessee” and urging the expediency of laying
out a new county, “to include all that tract of land lying on the
Tennessee River which is included by a line drawn from the south
bank of said river, where the northwest boundary of the State

1Several of these gentlemen lived in what is now Tennessee, but then a part
of North Carolina.

2On October 26, 1783, William Blount wrote to Martin, “I am told that a
certain dispute has arose between the States of Georgia and South Carolina by
the latter claiming the right to back lands as far West as the Mississippi. Now
if South Carolina has any back land, the Bend of Tennessee must be a part of it.
This dispute between the two States will, in my opinion, be very favorable to our
Designs of obtaining the Georgia Title, or the South Carolina Title and either
will answer our purpose equally well, for we shall surely settle the Country be-
fore the Dispute can be determined.” Publications of Southern History Associa-
tion, (1903) Vol. vii p 264.

crosses, and running west till it crosses said river Tennessee again,
to the south bank thereof, then up said south bank of said river
to the beginning.”

The task of piloting the scheme through the tortuous paths
of legislation was entrusted to the crafty hands of William Blount.
The dispute between Georgia and South Carolina, instead of em-
barrassing the plans of the speculators, was skillfully employed by
Blount in their favor. It was represented by him that priority of
settlement would greatly strengthen Georgia’s claim to the
disputed territory, and that it would probably settle it decisively
in her favor and would obviate the danger of future armed con-
tests with South Carolina touching the matter.

The argument proved convincing and on February 20, 1784,
the committee to whom this petition was referred reported that
“after having received all the information they could obtain on
that subject, they were of the opinion it would be necessary in
order to prevent future contests, to take measures as soon as may
be done with propriety, to settle the said tract of country.” They,
therefore, recommended “that seven commissioners be appointed
and vested with the powers necessary to ascertain the quantity,
quality and circumstances of the aforesaid lands, and report the
same, with their proceedings, to the legislature for their consider-
ation.” It was further provided that these commissioners might
issue warrants of survey for not more than one thousand acres to
any one person and at a price of not less than twelve and one-half
cents per acre. The surveys, when executed, with the plats of the
same, were to be returned to the surveyor-general’s office, prelim-
inary to the issuing of a patent. This report was agreed to, and
on the following day Lachlin McIntosh, Jr., William Downes,
Stephen Heard, John Morrell, all of Georgia, and John Donelson, Joseph
Martin, and John Sevier, all of North Carolina, were appointed such
commissioners. They were also constituted Justices for said district
and upon them was conferred the power of appointing militia offi-
cers who should be commissioned by the Governor. They were
thus invested with civil and military authority over the Great Bend
and with the power of disposing of the public domain therein. It
was to all intents and purposes the establishment of a new coun-
ty, or district, as it was then called, and was the earliest semblance
of civil government erected by an English speaking people in the
present State of Alabama.

The men who were engaged in this enterprise were the most
prominent of their day in Georgia and North Carolina. McIntosh
was a brigadier-general of militia, had served under Washington
in the Revolutionary War and was at the time a member of Con-
gress. William Blount became subsequently a member of the
United States Senate and Governor of Tennessee. Martin was a
noted pioneer, and Indian fighter and Agent. Gen. Rutherford,
at the opening of the Revolution was a member of the Provincial
Congress and Council of Safety, and in 1776 was commissioned a
brigadier-general in the American army. John Sevier was successively a
Brigadier-general, governor of the ‘‘State of Franklin”, six times
governor of Tennessee, and three times elected to Congress. Rich-
ard Caswell was a member of the Colonial Assembly of North
Carolina, delegate to Congress, governor, major-general in the Rev-
lution, United States Senator and presiding officer of the Conven-
tion which ratified the Federal Constitution. John Donelson was
a noted pioneer, one of the founders of Nashville, and his daughter
became the wife of President Jackson. Thus we see that the
beauty and the natural wealth of our loved Tennessee Valley did
not fail at an early date to appeal to the ablest men of the time.

Morrell and McIntosh failed or refused to act, and Thomas
Napier was appointed in the former’s place by the Governor. He
also failing, the Executive Council appointed Thomas Carr. It does
not appear that anyone was appointed in McIntosh’s place. So
the Board that acted appears to have been constituted as follows :
Thomas Carr, Stephen Heard, William Downes, Joseph Martin, John
Donelson, and John Sevier.

In the fall of 1784, a majority of the Board, namely, Heard,
Martin, Donelson and Sevier, met and determined that in March
of the following spring the commissioners should assemble at the
mouth of Elk River and formally organize the new county, and
grant warrants of survey for lands to be located in the Great Bend.
They also recommended that William Blount, John Donelson,
William Downes, John Sevier, Joseph Martin. Charles Robertson,
Valentine Sevier, Jr., and Stephen Heard be appointed by the
Legislature of Georgia justices of the peace for the “said district
of the Tennessee”, which was done on February 22, 1785.

In the month of March, according to the previous under-
standing, Col. Donelson with a company of men, including John

;54

ALABAMA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

Peyton and David Henry, penetrated a pathless wilderness from
Nashville (which had been settled only five years previously) to
the mouth of Elk River, the appointed place of meeting-, expecting
to meet there the other commissioners. But finding none of them
there, after tarrying for a brief period, he left five men, among
them Peyton, with a note to the other commissioners, and return-
ed to Nashville with the rest of his Company. He was constrained
to this course because at this time the mouth of Elk River was a
great resort for unfriendly Indians who came there to trade with
the French from the Wabash. A few men without horses might
secret themselves, but it was difficult for his mounted company
to do so. Their protracted presence would almost surely bring
about a clash with the Indians, and this he wished above all
things to avoid at this time. Peyton and his companions waited
near a week longer, and the other commissioners still not coming,
they returned to Nashville and reported to Col. Donelson.

The failure of the other commissioners to attend at the ap-
pointed time was doubtless due to the advice of Blount. He ex-
pected to negotiate treaties with the Cherokees and Chickasaws
in April or May, 1785, which he hoped would facilitate their plans,
and wrote to the commissioners suggesting a postponement of their
meeting until after the negotiation of such treaties.3 The conse-
quence was that another meeting of the commissioners did not
occur until in the fall of 1785. In October 1785, Sevier, Downs,
Heard, Martin, and Carr of the Commissioners met at Jonesbor-
ough, Tenn., and resolved to proceed at once down the Holston
and Tennessee Rivers in discharge of the duties committed to
them. Martin was, however, called away to South Carolina on
business with the Indians respecting the negotiation of the Cher-
okee treaty concluded at Hopewell, on Keowee, on November 28,
1785. Col. Heard, falling sick, was also compelled to quit the
party, so that three only now remained. These, however, pro-
ceeded on their way and were joined by Donaldson at Col. Hutch-
ins’ in Hawkins county.

Having engaged a considerable number of men to join them
at the mouth of the French Broad and to accompany them as
guard upon the promise of 1000 acres of land to each,4 Carr, Don-
elson, Downs and Sevier descended the Holston and Tennessee

Rivers to the Chickamauga towns of the Cherokees, just within
the present limits of Alabama, where they had talks with the In-
dians and opened a land office for the sale of the lands in the Great
Bend. The spot where this business was transacted was prob-
ably at the Long Island town, on Bridgeport island. Thomas
Carr was appointed Chairman of the Board; William Downes,
“Entry Taker”; and John Donelson, surveyor. They proceeded
to issue land warrants to all whom they had employed to accom-
pany them, and such others as desired to purchase, formally or-
ganized the new county, named it Houston, and elected Valentine
Sevier, Jr., as its representative in the Georgia Legislature. Sevier
was, therefore, the first person chosen to represent any part of the
State of Alabama in a legislative body. They also issued a land
warrant to each of the commissioners for 1000 acres4 5 but none- of
the warrants issued at this time ever passed to a grant. A com-
mittee of Congress subsequently decided that they were all in-
valid, as they no doubt were, on account of the failure of the hold-
ers to comply with the law under which they were issued. Don-
elson appointed as deputy surveyors, James M. Lewis, Zacariah
Cox. and Maj. Isaac Taylor, but no surveys were made until the
following year.

6Beside those already mentioned, warrants were issued as follows :

It had been one of the purposes of this expedition to establish
a settlement in the Great Bend, but the Indians appearing hostile
and restless, it was decided to postpone that part of the enterprise
till spring, when they would return with an increased company.
Accordingly, after a stay of two weeks, the Board adjourned to
meet again at the mouth of Elk River on April 1, 1786. It was
agreed that Lewis, one of the Deputy Surveyors, should meet the
Board there, while Cox and Taylor should go to run the line be-
tween Georgia and North Carolina.6 The importance of the early
establishment of this line had been strongly urged upon the com-
missioners by William Blount.7

Upon the breaking up of the Board, some of the commission-
ers returned to their homes, while others went to report their
proceedings to the legislature of Georgia. All the copies of this
report, of which at one time there were several, seem to be lost.
This is greatly to be deplored, as it no doubt set forth with par-
ticularity all that was then known of this country, the character
of its soil, topography, climate and inhabitants. It is gathered
from the records of the legislature, however, that this report show-
ed that the commissioners had made divers appointments, had sold
considerable land, had granted an indulgence of three years to the
purchasers and had taken bonds therefor in a large amount.

On his way home, Col. Donelson, who appears to have been
the most active spirit in this enterprise, was unfortunately killed
by the Indians. The remaining commissioners never met again
in the Great Bend, but held several meetings within the settled
limits of Georgia, at which they wound up their business. Valen-
tine Sevier, Jr., repaired to the place of sitting of the legislature,
but was refused recognition. In the spring of 1786, however, Cox
and Taylor executed their commissions to ascertain and mark the
Northern boundary of Georgia (now Alabama), and Lewis on April

6Now the line between Alabama and Tennessee.

7On Oct. 26, 1783, Blount wrote Gen. Martin, “A number of people have here
entered lands which I am sure they know lays without the limits of the State and
in the Bent within the limits of our purchase. And expect to get grants from
this State. I hope care will be taken to have the line of this State (i.e. North
Carolina) well known, that the Persons making surveys without the limits may
not be aple to plead Ignorance. It would seem to me that every person I have
seen here (i.e. Hillsborough, N. C.) envied us the Purchase and wished to own a
Part of the Bent of Tennessee.”

1st, with two other men, Turner Williams and Argalus Jeter, went
to the mouth of Elk River, the time and place appointed for the
reassembling of the commissioners, and awaited their coming till
the 4th, but they not appearing, he returned to Nashville.

At the ensuing session of the legislature, on February 6, 1786,
a bill was brought in “for laying out a county on the Tennessee”
and was read the first time, but appears never to have proceeded
any further. On the 10th the report of the “commissioners of thv
district of Tennessee” was read and referred to a committee con-
sisting of Messrs. Tew, Fort, and C. Crawford. Four days later
they submitted a report, but its contents can not now be ascer-
tained. No further steps were taken until July, when Mr. Porter
introduced a resolution declaring it to be “expedient in order to
prevent disputes in future to settle the country in the Bend of the
Tennessee.” The committee to which this resolution was referred,
reported on August 1st that “by the communications which had
been made to the committee, it appeared that a number of persons
from neighboring states were about to make settlement on the
lands, which, if carried out, would call for the immediate interpo-
sition of government,”8 and, therefore, recommended the establish-
ment of a new county. The House accordingly ordered such a bill
to be brought in, and on August 7th, Mr. Walton presented a bill
entitled “An Act for laying out a district in the Bend of the Ten-
nessee”, which was read the first time. On the next day it was
read the second time, and on the 12th was read the third time,
when on motion it was rejected by a vote of 26 to 23. But it was
expressly resolved that no title should be weakened, or the powers
of the commissioners impaired by the rejection of said bill, but
that everything in respect to said Tennessee business should stand
precisely upon the same footing as if said bill had not been brought
in. Donelson, the surveyor for the district being dead, it was fur-
ther resolved that John Linsey, Esq., should stand appointed in
his place.

8The threatened settlement here referred to was doubtless an enterprise at the
head of which was Col. Wade Hampton, of South Carolina, who had procured land
warrants from South Carolina and was threatening to locate them on lands in the
Great Bend and to settle the country. His contention was that there was a strip
of country several miles wide, belonging to South Carolina, lying between the
boundaries of Georgia and North Carolina. Zacariah Cox, who, as we have seen,
accompanied the commissioners in 1785, was in reality an agent of Col. Hampton.

Two days later it was resolved “that each of the commission-
ers appointed on the Tennessee business, who have actually at-
tended their duty, should be entitled to five thousand acres of
land in the district, as a gratuity and full compensation for their
trouble, and that they might have warrants of survey for the
same.” Accordingly, on September 22nd following land warrants
were issued to the commissioners for five thousand acres each, but
whether any of them were ever located it is uncertain ; certain it
is that none of them ever passed to a grant. No further legislative
action seems to have been taken by Georgia in this matter. No
title to any lands in the Groat Bend was ever perfected under
these proceedings. The entire enterprise appears to have collapsed
with the death of Donelson.9

It is interesting to speculate upon the consequences which
might have followed had the three votes by which this bill was
defeated been cast differently. It would almost certainly have re-
sulted in the prompt establishment of another strong settlement
in the wilderness, like those in Kentucky and at Nashville. It
would have added another chapter of murder and savage treachery
to the story of Indian warfare. It would have developed other
backwoods heroes to rival the deeds of Boone, Mansker, Sevier,
Campbell, and Robertson. It would have hastened the settlement
of North Alabama nearly a half century. It would have resulted
in creating a feeling of pride on the part of the new settlement
for the mother State which might have proved strong enough to
have kept forever the Great Bend within the confines of the State of
Georgia — Or they might have thought when Tennessee became a
State in 1796, that their welfare would be best promoted by uniting
their fortunes with hers. It is therefore easily within the range
of possibilities that had a new county been established at that

^Between 1817 and 1859, bills for the relief of the commissioners or their
representatives were several times before Congress, and it is from the committee

time in the Great Bend, there would have been no State of Ala-
bama, or if so, that her boundaries would have been greatly dif-
ferent from what they are.

This was by no menas the last attempt by private parties to
obtain the title to the lands embraced in the Alabama portion of
the Tennessee Valley. Two far more serious attempts made in
1789 and 1795, became known as the “Yazoo Frauds”. In fact, the
last was successful, for the Supreme Court of the United States
in 1880 decided that a grant made by the Georgia Legislature in
1795 to “The Tennessee Company” was valid and passed an ir-
revocable legal title to the company, notwithstanding its passage
was secured by bribery. The strong military arm of the United
States prevented all that part of North Alabama “from the Ten-
nessee line extending south to latitude 34° 10" north”, and from
Bear Creek on its western boundary, running east one hundred anci
twenty miles”, from passing into private hands at the inconse-
quential price of two and a quarter cents per acre. Several of the
parties concerned in the movement for the establishment of Hous-
ton County were also interested in these two subsequent enter-
prises. Thus we see that at a time when the entire western country
abounded in unoccupied lands of magnificent fertility and extent,
none seems to have proven quite so strong an attraction to the
alert land speculators as our own Tennessee Valley.

CHANGING ALABAMA

By Mary S. Butler

(Miss Butler is a teacher in the public schools of Selma, a former
President of the Alabama Branch, National League of American Pen
Women, has written numerous school plays and produced historical pa-
geants in Selma and elsewhere.)

Global war has brought drastic changes to every state in the
Union, but perhaps none has felt it any more than Alabama.
From the former sleepy shores of the Gulf, where now the riveters
and welders in the ship-yards make the Heavens ring, to the bust-
ling Muscle Shoals on the blue Tennessee, there is an ever-moving
current of change sweeping the state.

Sinister changes? Not altogether, Let us look at some of
them.

Alabama's population in 1940 was 2,832,248, showing an in-
crease of 186,713 since 1930. Alabama has grown in many ways,
but perhaps the greatest growth has not been in population, but
in its economic and social outlook. War has shown to the rest
of the world our splendid possibilities. Is it any wonder that
Mobile, with its naturally deep harbor and its proximity to the
Panama Canal,, was chosen as the site of one of the government’s
largest ship-yards? Is it surprising that Childersburg, only one
hundred miles from the huge nitrate supply of the Tennessee Val-
ley, is turning out millions of tons of gun-powder and other am-
munition? Birmingham, in the midst of its iron, coal, and lime,
is one of the greatest steel producers in the nation. Among the
valuable mineral resources which the War has enhanced in value
is Alabama’s vast deposits of bauxite, from which aluminum is
made, sulphur, lead, zinc, and bituminous coal. Our big pine for-
ests have contributed magnificently to the nation’s supply of lum-
ber, and our Alabama cotton is going into millions of war-time
products.

But let us take a look at the social side of all this war-time
prosperity which has come to our state. Ask any citizen of Mont-
gomery, Selma, Anniston, Dothan, or any Alabama city in which
there is located an Army air-field or post, if life in his community

SPRING ISSUE, 1944

has changed, and he will emphatically reply, “Yes.”

First, there is the crowded condition of homes, schools, stores,
eating-places, theaters, buses, trains and street-cars. Families are
living in such congested situations that there is little privacy ;
children have no place to play, and the nerve strain and irritability
which is a concomitant is reflected in the faces of people on the
streets. Gone is the day of leisure, when neighbors all knew each
other and took an interest in every small occurrence in the town.
The days of the placid, peaceful flow of uneventful life seem to be
a dream of the past.

Mothers, who have never left their homes to earn a penny,
have gone to work, lured by the fantastic prices paid for labor,
leaving their children to Negro nurses or day nurseries. Juvenile
delinquency is an attendant evil, — but this short article is no proper
vehicle for this subject, which is a volume in itself. Alabama is
having her share of trouble with her children and youth, — which
leads to the next great change in our state, — the condition of our
schools.

Jane Addams, widely known and loved social worker, once
said, “America’s future will be determined by its homes and schools.
The child becomes what it is taught; hence we must watch what
we teach it and how we live before it.” Alabama teachers, along
with those of all the states in the Union, are leaving their school-
rooms by the thousands, literally, and last year Alabama lost 3,600
of hers. This means that our schools are rapidly losing ground,
and our most precious crop, our children, are being taught by any-
one that a harried superintendent can pick up. Alabama, with 2.2
percent of the nation’s population, has only 1.1 percent of the na-
tion’s wealth. This means that there is not enough money for
schools, and that unless the federal government, which is already
feeding thousands of our school children, comes to our aid, Ala-
bama will not have enough teachers to man her schools. Teachers
in this state received a salary increase of nineteen cents a day last
fall, while the cost of living went up 26 percent in the same season.
Last September there were 221 vacant schoolrooms, in spite of the
3,100 emergency certificates granted. Alabama cannot afford to
let her schools drop below pre-war levels. The problems of a
post-war world must be settled by our youth and children of today,

62

ALABAMA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

and they will need more and better educations than they are re-
ceiving now.

But changes in our educational set-up are not greater than
changes in other phases of our state life. Money is pouring into
business, but there seems little thought g'iven to the post-war de-
pression which is as sure to follow as night follows day. Governor
Sparks has appointed a commission to study the problems which
will arise, particularly those of unemployment. There is hope thar
our industries can convert to peace-time work, but can even a frac-
tion of the thousands of war workers find work in Alabama after
the war? Positively not. In our industrial cities of Birmingham.
Gadsden, Anniston, Mobile and Childersburg, there must be two
or three hundred thousand workers. Alabama, which is primarily
an agricultural state, cannot absorb these industrial workers. There
are not enough factories in this state to employ one-hundredth 01
them.

The war-time industries which have been introduced into the
state have caused the greatest change in the lives of the people.
Farm boys who have earned only a dollar a day at most are earn-
ing ten; Negroes who were paid twenty-five cents an hour are
drawing fabulous wages. Women, both white and black, are mak
ing more money than they have ever imagined. What effect hae
this had upon the population? Farms and dairies abandoned, neve'*
to be worked again ; homes wrecked by crowded conditions and
juvenile delinquency; Alabama’s colored labor impudent and dis-
contented, probably never willing to return to pre-war wages. For
Alabama is bound to grow away from her agricultural tradition-?
and become more and more an industrial state.

Tabor trouble has already raised its ugly head in this state
When one of our Congressmen dared to vote for the Smith-Con
nally Bill, which would regulate the strike menace, all labor union
members were ordered by their national bosses to vote agains"
this honest man. This insidious venom was contested in the May
primaries recently; if Tabor had won out in this contest, the’"
Alabama would have bidden farewell forever to her age-old tradi
tions.

These afore-mentioned changes are not more drastic than the
other political changes one encounters. Alabama has long been

SPRING ISSUE, 1944

63

considered one of the staunchest supporters of the “Solid South’’.
The Democratic Party in Alabama, which has produced great lead-
ers like Oscar Underwood, the Bankheads, Thomas Kilby, B. B.
Comer and dozens of others, has seen the time come when it is
seriously considering pulling out of the “Solid South”, to bring an
end to the New Deal, and to restore to power the old American
spirit of free enterprise. The stiff fight put up in Congress by our
Senator John Bankhead against Farm Subsidies is but a straw in
thp wind, showing how Alabama is feeling about national politics.

However, not all the changes in Alabama are bad ones. We
have seen our great plantations cut into smaller farms ; our tenant
farmers have improved their condition and are getting away from
the one-crop system. Alabama is raising fine herds of dairy cattle
and blooded horses. Cotton is no longer King in this state. We
have reaped many benefits in a financial way from this terrible
war. Our squalid Negro tenements in many cities have been re-
placed by neat government apartments ; the general condition of
our Negroes has been improved ; our poor whites have had money
to buy luxuries, and all over Alabama may be seen evidences of
her great wealth.

Changes, — social, economic, educational, — yes, even cultural,
mark the present history of Alabama. Change may be helpful ;
only stagnation means death. If Alabama can grasp her opportun-
ity and rise on this upsurge of prosperity, her future may be very
bright. If she can turn her powder-mills into plastic factories, her
steel into automobiles, her warships into carriers of world com-
merce, she will be well on her way to surmounting a world de-
pression after the War.

Yes, a changing Alabama has great possibilities, if her citizen-
ship is educated and enlightened. If a state can pour billions into
a war effort, she can surely pour millions into better schools, good
roads, libraries, hospitals, and welfare institutions for her citizens
in peace times. Wake up, Alabama, and grasp your opportunity!

DEMOCRATIC PARTY REGULATIONS EXPLAINED

By Gessner T. McCorvey, Chairman
State Democratic Executive Committee

(It is the policy of the Alabama Historical Quarterly to carry in each
issue at least one article of current historical importance. This issue con-
tains a letter to the Editor of the Mobile Press Register by Mr. McCorvey
in response to inquiries made of the Chairman of the Executive Committe
concerning the Party rules relating to elections in the State of Alabama.
This particular item was chosen for presentation herewith because of the
political situation not only in Alabama but throughout the nation respecting
the voters rights and privileges, his moral obligations as an elector and
especially the rules of the Democratic Party in this State during the
/ecent campaign for National. State and local offices.)

September 2nd, 1944.

To

The Editor of the Mobile Press Register,

Mobile, Alabama.

Dear Sir : —

Replying to your several inquiries submitted to me in writing,
relative to prospective action to be taken by the State Democratic
Executive Committee of Alabama, my forecasts as to the General
Election, etc., I must state that I can only answer your inquiries
for myself, and although I have been honored by my fellow mem-
bers on our State Committee with the Chairmanship of our Com-
mittee, I have no authority to speak for or bind any other mem-
ber of our Committee. However, I have no hesitancy in stating
what my own, personal, views are, and what action, in my opinion,
our Party should take. With this understanding I will answer
your several inquiries as follows :

1. As to what position the State Democratic Executive Com-
mittee will take towards Democrats who voted in our Democratic
Primaries and then vote the Republican ticket in the General Elec-
tion in November, in my opinion our State Executive Committee
will do in the future as it has done in the past, and invite all white
electors to return to our Party and become members of the Demo-
cratic Party, although I feel confident that our State Executive

SPRING ISSUE, 1944

65

Committee will bar as candidates in our next Democratic Primary
Elections any electors who fight the nominees of our Party in the
General Election of 1944. May I add that for many years our
Party has provided different qualifications for voters and for can-
didates. We invite all white electors to become members of our
Party and permit them to vote, but when it comes to permitting
an elector to be a candidate in our Democratic Primaries, then we
require such prospective candidate to take an oath to the effect
that he did not vote a Republican ticket or any ticket other than
the Democratic ticket in the last General Election, and further
that he did not openly and publicly oppose the election of the
nominees of the Democratic Party, or any of them. I think our
State Executive Committee will follow this course in the future.

2. In answer to your inquiry as to whether or not the State
Democratic Executive Committee will read out of the Party any
voter who participated in our Democratic Primaries and who failed
to vote, at all, in the General Election, I will state that this inquiry
is covered in my answer to your first question.

3. Replying to your inquiry as to whether or not I, as Chair-
man, fear a wide-spread bolt in the November election, I beg to
advise that I do not expect any such bolt. There will, of course,
be some Democrats who will not vote in the General Election in
November, and a comparatively few who will “kick over the
traces” and vote the Republican ticket, but I don’t believe that
any very substantial number of the thoughtful men and women
of our State who participated in our Democratic Primary and de-
liberately cast a ballot on which was written a pledge to support
all the nominees of that Primary, will violate this pledge with
impunity. On every ballot cast in our Primary Election, and on
every voting machine used in that Primary, there was plainly
written this pledge :

“By casting this ballot I do pledge myself to abide by the
result of this primary election and to aid and support all
the nominees thereof in the ensuing General Election.”

Sections 350 and 352 of Title 17 of the Alabama Code makes it
mandatory that this pledge be placed on each ballot cast. A great
many Democrats firmly believe that there would have been little,
if any, thought of Roosevelt for a fourth term except for the war

ALABAMA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

conditions. Many thoughtful citizens who were never admirers
of President Roosevelt, and who thought that the two-term tra-
dition should be maintained, are voting for Mr. Roosevelt this
time because they very sincerely feel that it would be a serious
mistake for the American people to repudiate President Roosevelt
during the pendency of the war which is being so magnificently,
splendidly, effectively and successfully prosecuted, without the
slightest hint from the President’s most bitter enemies that he,
as Commander in Chief, has been guilty of any political interfer-
ence in its prosecution. I think the argument a sound one, that if
the American people should repudiate Roosevelt, and if the Eng-
lish people should repudiate Churchill, then our enemies such as
Hitler, Goebels, Goering and Himmler, and the Japanese gang' of
war lords in control of that country, could go before their people
with some semblance of sincerity and claim that neither the Amer-
ican people nor the British people were behind “those war mongers
Roosevelt and Churchill A Such propaganda on the part of the lead-
ers of our enemies would undoubtedly prolong the war and cost
countless thousands of additional casualties among our boys. While
our enemies are now doing all that they can, and we now have
them with their backs to the wall, yet, I don’t think there is any
doubt that they would hold out much longer, and resist more
strongly, if they sincerely thought that the people of our country
and the people of England were not whole-heartedly behind our
leaders in the prosecution of this war. This, alone, in my opin-
ion, makes it all important that the Democratic Party be returned
to power.

In my opinion the great majority of the Democrats in Ala-
bama and throughout the South are going to take the position
that we owe our allegiance to the Democratic Party and we will
faithfully support its nominees. I think only a very few are going
“to take a walk”. I believe that the Southern people are finally
waking up to the fact that by the South presenting a united front
at our National Conventions we can regain in the councils of our
Party the prestige which we formerly enjoyed. We of the South
undoubtedly brought about the defeat of Henry Wallace as our
Vice-Presidential nominee, and no man more unfriendly to the
South could possibly have been nominated than Wallace. Fur-
thermore, at our recent Chicago Convention our Southern Dele-
gates succeeded in having two planks placed in our platform which
I consider a victory for our section. These planks were as follows :

SPRING ISSUE, 1944

67

“We favor Federal aid to education administered by the
States without interference by the Federal Government.”

We have been fearful that if the Federal aid to education was
administered by the Federal Government, the first requirement
would be the abolition of our segregation laws, just as the Federal
Government has required the doing away with segregation laws
in connection with certain Federal contracts, etc.

The other plank in our platform which should be particularly
helpful to the South is the plank reading as follows :

“We favor nondiscriininatory transportation charges and
declare for the early correction of inequalities in such
charges. ”

Anyone who has studied the transporation freight structure under
which the South has been struggling since the Civil War, fully
appreciates the tremendous disadvantage under which Southern
Industry has had to operate. I firmly believe that by the proper
cooperation between our Southern Delegates we can in the future
get our Party to take many more steps toward aiding our section.

Most of the thoughtful men and women of Alabama who were
unwilling to support the nominees of the Democratic Primaries,
unless these nominees should turn out to be candidates they were
willing to support in the General Election, stayed out of our Pri-
maries so as to be free to vote the Republican ticket or an Inde-
pendent ticket without violating their pledge. No man or woman
had any right or any business participating in our Democratic
Primary without being bound by the conditions we imposed when
inviting them to become a member of our Party. They could
stay out of our Primary and then with a clear conscience vote as
they pleased in the General Election.

4. In reply to your inquiry as to what constitutes the princi-
pal objection in the South to the re-election of the Democratic
ticket, I will state that in my opinion the principal objection would
be the manner in which the present administration has handled
the racial issue. However, just read the Republican platform with
its advocacy of a permanent Fair Employment Practice Commis-
sion, the abolition of our poll tax laws, the doing away with all of

68

ALABAMA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

our segregation statutes, etc., and then tell me what in the name
of common sense these objectors think or hope they can accom-
plish on this racial proposition by stringing along with our Re-
publican friends. Many Northern people, both Democrats and
Republicans, advocate the doing away with our segregation laws
and other regulations which we of the South know to be abso-
lutely essential to the well-being of both races, and while these
folks think that they are helping out our colored friends, yet, as a
matter of fact, we all know that they are only making living con-
ditions in the South more cliff ciult and more unsatisfactory for
both races. Ours is the only section of the world where two en-
tirely different races have been able to live together side by side
in great numbers in peace and harmony for many generations,
and if we are just let alone we will continue to have nothing but
the best of relations between the two races. I recently read a
statement from what I considered a reliable source, that more ne-
groes were killed in the horrible race riot in Chicago a few years
ago than were killed in all of the lynchings which have taken place
in all of the Southern States during the three-quarters of a cen-
tury since the Civil War ended, and yet some of these Northern
people seem to think that they know better than the Southern
people, — both white and black, — how we can best get along and
live together. They are simply ill-advised, ignorant meddlers who
know absolutely nothing about the problems they are trying to
handle with totally unworkable theories. I wish all of them could
see and realize how nicely and satisfactorily the two races get
along together when they just leave us alone. No right-thinking
Southern white man or white woman is going to be unfair or un-
just to his colored neighbors, and all that we ask of these people
in other sections of the country is to let us live in peace and har-
mony and to stop meddling and interfering with a proposition that
they know absolutely nothing about. No matter how good their
intentions may be, they are doing nothing but harm when they
undertake to trample under foot the traditions and segregation
practices which time has proven to be the only proper method of
handling our proposition.

5. Replying to your inquiry as to whether or not the State
Committee has any means of checking on how Democrats who
voted in the Primary vote in the General Election, I beg to ad-
vise that no method of making such a check is afforded. In fact,
we have rather severe criminal statutes controlling in such cases

SPRING ISSUE, 1944

69

where an effort is made. to see how an elector voted, except in the
case of a contest. In event the State Executive Committee of our
Party wished to punish any Democrat who voted for the Repub-
lican ticket in the General Election, the only way that a check of
this kind could be made would be to require that before any sus-
pected elector could be permitted to vote in our next Prmary Elec-
tion, such elector would first have to make affidavit as to whether
or not he supported the Democratic ticket in the preceding General
Election. As above stated, we have only required such an affidavit
as to candidates and have not applied such a harsh rule to electors,
as it has been our desire to keep in the Democratic Party all quali-
fied white electors.

6. I think if the National Administration continues to meddle
with our racial problems in the South that Governor Sparks is
correct in taking the position that we will be caused much grief
and I can conceive that matters could get to the point where there
would be danger of the South abandoning its traditional allegiance
to the Democratic Party. However, I don’t think we have as yet
come to this point. I believe that with a better understanding of
conditions in our section, the Democrats in other sections will be-
gin to realize that in their efforts to do away with our segregation
laws they are doing nothing but harm, and are not being helpful
to anyone. As the situation appears to me, those of us who en-
tertain the views which we hold as to the absolute necessity of our
segregation statutes would have nowhere to go if we wished to
abandon the Democratic Party. We could certainly hope for no
relief along these lines from the Republican Party. Even a glance
at the very radical racial platform adopted by the Republican
Party shows conclusively that we have nothing to expect from
that source. I have never thought that I could get anywhere
trying “to reform the other fellow’s party” , but am firmly convinced
that I can accomplish far more trying to reform my own party,
where I certainly would have much more weight and influence
than if I went over into the enemy’s camp and tried to tell them
how to run things. I don’t think that the third party agitation
will get anywhere. For many years we have had third parties to
flash on the political scene from time to time, but I don’t think
any of them survived more than one election. Personally, I be-
lieve strongly in the two-party system which gives a sufficient
check to prevent wholesale abuses. We certainly would not wish
to follow in the foot-steps of some of our Republics to the South,

70

ALABAMA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

where they have six or eight different Parties. Such a situation
brings about untold unrest and lack of stability in Government,
and in my opinion the thing for the people of the South to do is to
stand by the Democratic Party, give it our whole-hearted support
and allegiance, go to our Democratic National Conventions and
unite in a manner that we have never united before, and insist
upon and demand that redress which we feel we are entitled to
from our own Party. There is no doubt in my mind but that Ala-
bama will go overwhelmingly Democratic in November. With
all of the fight which was made on Roosevelt by the Wilkie people
in 1940, here in Mobile County the Democratic ticket swept Mo-
bile County by a vote of 11,477 for Roosevelt to 1,890 for Wilkie,
a majority of more than six to one for the Democratic ticket. The
State as a whole did almost as well by the Democratic Party, the
vote throughout the entire State being 250,726 for Roosevelt against
42,184 for Wilkie.

Of course, much has been done by our Party that I do not
approve of, but I believe in doing my fighting zvithin my party, and not
without it. I very earnestly and very sincerely believe that if the
Southern people will unite and present a solid front at our National
Conventions, as I had hoped they would do at our last Convention,
we can bring about a greatly changed situation in the treatment
accorded to us by our National Administration. We can certainly
expect nothing from the Republican Party in return for our having
voted against them for three-quarters of a century, whereas the
Democratic Party owes us an everlasting debt of gratitude as we
have been the back-bone of that party for several generations and
have really prevented it, on several occasions, from passing into
oblivion. With united effort I feel confident we can remedy many
of the matters which are now giving us trouble.

Respectfully submitted,

GESSNER T. McCORVEY,

Chairman,

State Democratic Executive Committee of Alabama.

A HISTORY OF THE OLD FRENCH GUN OF DEMOPOLIS

By Bessie Patterson Wilburn

(One of the most interesting rooms in the World War Memorial Build-
ing is that one holding mementoes of Alabama’s French contacts. Our
State was first explored by the Spanish under DeSoto in 1540. In 1699
during the reign of Louis XIV the Gulf Coast was settled by a French
colony led by two French Canadian brothers, Pierre LeMoyne, Sieur Iber-
ville and John Baptist LeMoyne, Sieur Beinville. The next interesting
episode connected with our contacts was the settlement of Demopolis by
the Vine and Olive Colony in 1818, follows of Napoleon Bonaparte who
fled from France after his fall to escape death and imprisonment. Another
interesting episode was the visit of General LaFayette in 1825. The walls
of this French Room are lined with beautiful paintings portraying scenes
of the settlement of Demopolis by the Vine and Olive Colony presented
to the State by Thomas W. Martin. In the glass cabinets in the room
are some of the beautiful white satin dresses worn by women who came
with their husbands to Demopolis. From time to time descendants of these
Colonists present items they have inherited for the collection. Very recently
a quaint old gun was placed in the French collection by Mrs. Bessie Pat-
terson Wilburn. The following article by Mrs. Wilburn gives the history
of the gun.)

Of the number of the exiled Bonapartists who settled Demop-
olis in the Alabama Canebrake, the leader, and easily the most
distinguished of the group, was Count Charles Lefebvre-Desnou-
ettes, a warm personal friend as well as favorite general of Napo-
leon Bonapart. He was also a family connection of Napoleon’s
as the latter had used his influence to wed his cousin, the sister of
the Paris banker La Fitte (who helped finance Napoleon’s cam-
paigns) to the Count Desnouettes.

The Count was perhaps as highly esteemed by Napoleon as
any of his officers, as was evidenced by his many acts of personal
favor. On the long and fatiguing march to Russia and the dis-
astrous retreat from Moscow the beloved Desnouettes was ever
the chosen general to ride in the personal carriage with his im-
perial master. General Desnouettes was aid-de-camp to Bona-
part at the battle of Saragossa. For his conspicuous gallantry at
Austerlitz he was made a commander of the Legion of Honor.
In fact so much was Napoleon attached to Desnouettes that when
forced to abdicate the throne and depart for Elba, while address-
ing his sorrowful and weeping officer Fontainebleau, the deposed

72

ALABAMA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

Lady’s gun given by Countess Desnouettes to her husband, Count Charles
Lefebvre-Desnouettes, when he left France with the Vine and Olive Colony which
settled Demopolis, Ala., in 1818. This gun was made by Morizeau, of Paris.
When Gen. Desnouettes left Alabama to return to Europe he sold his houshold
effects and gave many parting gifts to members of the Colony. This gun was
purchased by Nathan Lipscomb, a native of South Carolina and good friend of
Desnouettes and it afterwards became the property of his daughter, Elizabeth
Lipscomb Stewart who later gave it to her granddaughter, Bessie Patterson, now
Mrs. H. H. Wilburn, of Demopolis.

Emperor said, “I cannot take leave of you all, but will embrace ten,
Desnouettes in behalf of all.” Napoleon, with tears dimming his
eyes, encircled the General in his arms, while Desnouettes, entirely
unarmed, wept aloud.

The Countess Desnouettes did not accompany her husband
into exile after Napoleon’s downfall; she intended, however, to
later join the County in the wilds of North America, where the
banished French would find a refuge from the wrath of the Bour-
bons. So, on General Desnouettes’ departure from France, his
wife entrusted him with the care of a very valuable gun that had
been made in Paris for her, the Countess thinking at the time,
that she would shortly be with her husband in America, where
she would have need of the gun as protection from Indians and
the wild beasts of the American forest.

This “lady’s gun” was very handsome with its hand carved
fruit wood stock and heavy padding covered with a beautiful soft
leather. The bushing was encrusted with gold, and the long single
barrel bore the words : MORIZBAU , Paris, doubtless the maker’s mark.

The Countess was never to use this splendid firearm in Ala-
bama, however, for various circumstances having prevented her
from joining Desnouettes, she evoked the aid of her influential
family in obtaining a pardon, and permission for her distinguished
husband’s return to the Continent. She was successful, and Des-
nouettes, having sold his plantation and selling and giving to
friends his household effects, bid farewell to his friends in Ala-
bama and set sail — not for his beloved France — but for Belgium
where the Bourbons had granted permission for the Desnouettes
family to reside. But this illustrious fugitive was never to See
again his native France ; for his ship, the ill-fated “Albion”, foun-
dered within sight of the Irish Shore and Desnouettes and all on
board perished.

In later years a monument to the memory of Count Charles
Lefbvre-Desnouettes was erected by the French at St. Ardresse
near E’Havre, France.

Among the goods sold by General Desnouettes on leaving De-
mopolis was the Paris gun that he had brought from France for
the Countess. The gun was purchased by Nathan Lipscomb, a
native South Carolinian and good friend of Desnouettes.

Nathan and his brother William Lipscomb migrated from Ab-
beville District, South Carolina, prior to April 9, 1817, to join their
brother Abner Smith Lipscomb at the old Spanish Fort of St.
Stephens, where the latter had settled in the Mississippi Territory
in 1811, six years before St. Stephens was to become the provision-
al Capital of Alabama Territory. Abner Lipscomb, who had stud-
ied law in the office of John Bowie and of John C. Calhoun, the
great statesman, in Abbeville District, South Carolina, entered
politics and while a member of one of the 1818 meetings of the
Alabama Territorial Legislature proposed the name of “Marengo”
— in honor of Napoleon’s victory at Marengo in 1800 — for the new
county that had been settled on the “White Bluff” of the T'ombig-
bee River by the French Emigrants the year before. These Exil-
ists had bestowed the Greek word “Demopolis” upon their

74

ALABAMA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

town ; but when the survey was made it was found that
the ?‘City of the People” was outside of the French grant and the
settlers were forced to remove a short distance eastward where a
new town was begun and was called Aigleville. In this town Gen-
eral Desnouettes built a log cabin which was his “Sanctuary”,
and in it he exhibited a collection of swords and pistols which he
had taken in battle in Europe. These firearms were arranged
around the base of a bronze bust of Napoleon ; and the rough log
walls of the interior of the Sanctuary were draped with the beloved
flags of France.

Mr. Jesse Whitfield of Demopolis made a survey in recent
years of the old Aigleville section, and presented me with a map
showing the exact location of the Desnouettes cabin. It has been
the desire of my heart for many years that this spot be preserved
by a marker.

Abner S. Lipscomb soon became the first Chief Justice of the
State of Alabama and left St. Stephens. Nathan Lipscomb, who
operated the first saw mill in south Alabama, near Bashi, Clarke
County, and across the Tombigbee River from St. Stephens, soon
sold his holdings when Murrell’s gang began to terrorize that sec-
tion, and with his brother William brought their families to Ma-
rengo County.

Drinking water was very scarce in the black lime land surround-
ing Demopolis, so both of the Lipscomb brothers sought and found
abundant flowing springs a few miles south of Demopolis where
the sand elevations began to out-crop. Each of the brothers built
large substantial houses (which are still standing) near the springs
they had discovered only a few miles apart.

Incidentally, Nathan had live silk cocoons and slips of the mul-
berry tree sent from South Carolina to his plantation, but for some
reason the silk growing experiment was a failure. This species of
mulberry is yet found growing in the Demopolis section.

Nathan Lipscomb was residing in his home near his spring
when Count Desnouettes left Demopolis, and at the sale of the
General’s effects bought the gun which had been brought to Amer-
ica for Countess Desnouettes. The story of the gun Nathan learn-
ed from the Count. A mahogany candlestick was presented to

SPRING ISSUE, 1944

75

him by Desnouettes at the same time. The fate of the candlestick
is unknown; but the gun Nathan presented to his wife, the former
Elizabeth Merriwether of South Carolina, with instructions to shoot
on sight — not Indians — but the deer that came in increasing num-
bers to the pool of water below the spring, where they drank with
the cattle in the evenings. There is, however, no tradition that
Elizabeth Lipscomb ever killed a deer with the beautiful French
gun!

The gun became the property of Nathan and Elizabeth’s
daughter, Elizabeth Lipscomb Stewart. It stayed for many years
in an attic while children pried off the gold plate of the bushing,
and rats and mice played havoc with the padding, and rust cor-
roded the barrell.

Mrs. Stewart at length gave the gun to her young grand-
daughter, Bessie Patterson, now Mrs. H. H. Wilburn, of Demopo-
lis ; she related the history of the gun as it has been recorded in
this article. Elizabeth Stewart also gave her granddaughter in-
structions that the gun must remain always in the family.

It is now being loaned to the Alabama Department of Ar-
chives and History with reservation that it may be withdrawn
upon request of Mrs. Wilburn or her descendants.

One of my earliest memories was hearing the story of the
French settlement of Demopolis told by my Grandmother, Eliza-
beth Lipscomb Stewart; as I grew older I read every printed ac-
count of the Marengo colony I could find.

For the history of Count Lefebvre-Desnouettes as given in the
above article, I used the facts as told by J. W. Beeson in the “De-
mopolis Express” of 1895, and “French Military Adventure in Ala-
bama” by Thomas Martin. Other facts and dates are taken from
old Lipscomb files, and family Bibles, Alabama Historical Quar-
terly, Summer Issue 1930, and data given me by my Grandmother
Elizabeth Lipscomb Stewart.

HISTORY OF ROCK SPRINGS BAPTIST CHURCH,
CHAMBERS COUNTY, ALABAMA

By Anne Elisabeth Newman

(The Alabama Historical Quarterly has been carrying a series of ar-
ticles on “The Oldest Church in my County.” These articles were pre-
pared by their authors in various parts of the State at the request of the
Editor of this magazine and have proven of great interest not only locally
but very generally because in some cases the list of interments in the
churchyard of the old community have been included in the article.
There is a great disposition on the part of our people to trace their an-
cestry where records can be found. Many of the old headstones in Ala-
bama cemeteries carry records even of Revolutionary soldiers who came
to Alabama with their families in our pioneer period. The Department of
Archives and History has a list of all Revolutionary soldiers buried in this
State and it is found that at least 600 Revolutionary heroes are buried
within the borders of Alabama. The Daughters of the American Revo-
lution have marked a number of graves and are very active in assembling
information about them.)

“For none of us liveth to himself and no man dieth to him-
self.” This verse from Romans 14:7 was the fext of the sermon
preached by Reverend Francis Calloway on April 24, 1839 to a lit-
tle group of worshippers gathered in a home aboiU two miles
north of what is now Rock Springs Church. After the sermon
Brethren William Lacy and Francis Calloway, the two ministers
present, formed a presbytery and asked Brother Britton Stamps
to act as clerk. They organized a church consisting of the follow-
ing charter members: Richard B. Head, Andrew Patterson, Sarah
Youngblood, James Neighbors, Ruth Lindsey, Abigail Lindsey,
Abner Webb, Martha McClure, Sarah Lindsey, Elizabeth Head,
Clarry Lindsey, and Sarah Buckalew. After the organization
Brother William Lacy and his wife joined by letter, and a month
later he was called to be the first pastor.

The church was named Mount Paran at first, but on July 24,
1841, its name became Rock Springs, for a building had been erected
about half a mile southeast of the present site, near a spring issu-
ing from a rock. Here nature had prepared an ideal setting for a
baptismal scene of reverence and beauty, as people stood about
the encircling hillsides or sat upon the rocks and witnessed the
ordinance in the pool below.

78

ALABAMA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

-In 1850 the church began worship in its new building up on
the road at the present location. On January 17, 1857 Henry M.
Ford and wife Sarah Ann, for the sum of fifty-two dollars sold
sixteen acres of land to Rock Springs Church, which land still
provides an ever-enlarging cemetery and the surrounding woods.
The deacons representing the church at the time of the transaction
were: James Anderson, Senior, William Davis, Abner Webb, Sam-
uel Newman, and Philip S. Milford. In 1880 a building committee
reported carefully detailed specifications for a new building, which
was finished and occupied in 1881. Mr. Lawrence McRae had
charge of the erection of the building and carried out his respon-
sibility scrupulously. Old minutes record the cost of material,
labor, etc., to have been $1326.86. This building is the house of
worship used to-day.

The split between the Missionary and Anti-Missionary Bap-
tists occurred December 26, 1840. After long consideration of the
matter of foot-washing and fasting, the church at Rock Springs in
1843 agreed “to attend to it twice every year immediately after the
communion.” This action of the church was later revoked.

On August 5, 1891 G. W. Newman gave about one-fourth of
an acre — all land inside the enclosure of the graveyard — to relatives
and friends of the dead who are buried at Old Rock Springs, to
“be kept and used for a public graveyard forever hereafter.”

An interesting note from the minutes of 1883 is a recommen-
dation of the deacons that each member pay five cents a month
for church expenses, and that each member give something to the
support of the pastor.

Included in the Decorum was the rule that “no male member
shall be allowed to leave the house in time of conference unless
by permission of the moderator.” And also in the Decorum : “It
shall be the duty of each member present at our communion to
take their seats in order whether they partake of the elements or
not, but if they refuse twice in succession they shall make the
cause known to the deacons privately and on failing, the deacons
shall report them to the church.”

A custom now discontinued was inviting visiting brethren and
sisters to seats with them at the regular Saturday conferences.

SPRING ISSUE, 1944

79

Sending a committee from the church to visit a male member if he
had been absent twice from regular conference without having giv-
en explanation is no longer practiced. There still lives an old report
that Brother Murdock McRae for eighteen years did not miss a
Saturday meeting and conference. Then came a day when he was
absent. One of the brethren in the church, knowing something
was wrong, hurried to Brother McRae’s home and found him with
a broken arm. Another custom no longer continued is roll call
at each monthly conference.

Reflecting the history of the times is mention of the reception
of slaves into the membership. They are designated by their first
names and as being the property of the members who owned them.
They also were subject to discipline. In the minutes of May 16,
1857 is this entry : “Resolved that it is the sense of this church
that it is the duty of members to bring up their families both
bond and free to our regular church meetings both Saturday and
Sabbath but that we regard it as a matter which should be left to
the conscience of each individual member.”

Records include numerous cases of offenses for which mem-
bers were disciplined and were excluded if satisfactory acknowledg-
ments were not made to the church. The following list is repre-
sentative : selling spiritous liquors ; dancing, or allowing it to be
carried on at one’s residence ; telling lies ; fighting ; drawing one’s
coat to fight, and getting mad and wanting to fight ; keeping a
disorderly house (where fiddling, dancing, and gambling were car-
ried on) ; running horse races and betting on them ; drinking too
much spiritous liquors; profane language ; unchristian conduct;
fornication; adultery and bastardy; card-playing; slandering; ob-
taining property under false pretenses ; abusing his wife ; quitting
wife or husband ; selling and proposing to sell property that did
not belong to him ; denying the faith ; forging notes ; breaking the
Sabbath ; being unsound in the faith ; moving away leaving his
church subscription not paid and other matters unsettled ; not
believing in future rewards and punishments. The church, find-
ing one brother “dissembling and refractory, thought it most for
the glory of God and the good of His cause to exclude him, there-
fore withdrew fellowship from him.” Other practices not tolerated
by the church were resorting to dram shops, and the purchasing
of lottery tickets. Time after time in the regular conferences a
committee was appointed to investigate some rumor about a mem-

ber or to see an offending one and “cite” him to the church con-
ference or “labor with” him.

These are the clerks who have served Rock Springs Church :
Abner Webb, John J. Hussey, William Davis, J. C. Webb, W. J.
Johnson, Webster McRae (for a short time, and the incumbent
O. G. Moore, who, with almost thirty-eight years of service to his
eternal credit, continues his faithful work in this office.

Twenty-two pastors have shepherded Rock Springs Church.
They are respectively: William Lacy, William A. Hunter, A. B. A.
Simmons, John R. Humphries, H. Williams, James M. Russell,
John F. Bledsoe, John Cumbee, R. A. J. Cumbee, G. E. Brewer,
C. P. Sisson, W. M. Blackwelder, W. C. Bledsoe, A. S. Smith, J.
L. Gregory, C. A. Strickland, L. B. Crantford, A. E. Silvey, C. M.
Cloud, A. C. Yeargan, J. D. Okeef, B. B. McGinty.

In recent years Mrs. Julia Lamb departed this life at the age
of ninety-seven. She had been a member of Rock Springs Church
eighty-one years. Mrs. Laura McKee, now in her eighty-eighth
year, has been a member seventy-one years. She recalls the great
crowds that used to fill the building, and the joy that the people
found in their monthly worship services.

Throughout the years the highest tide was anticipated during
the summer “big meeting,” when worship and evangelistic ser-
vices were protracted and held twice a day for a week or more.
This was a time anticipated and enjoyed, the climax of the year,
a season of fellowship and hospitality, as well as of spiritual re-
freshing. During this week the approach of evening found people
from divers directions winding their way towards the church to
gather there at “early candlelight.”

Reverend Francis Calloway, who preached the sermon on the
day when Mount Paran Church was organized, is buried in the
cemetery of Antioch Baptist Church, Chambers County. His grave
should be a sacred shrine to interested visitors. In the Rock
Springs cemetery rest many faithful leaders whose affections were
set on their church. Their lives were centered in it ; they helped
to carve out the glory and dignity with which it has stood as a
burning and shining light in the community for over a hundred
vears.

JEREMIAH AUSTILL

The autobiography of one of Alabama’s most distinguished pioneer citizens.

(This valuable paper was presented to the Alabama State Department
of Archives and History in 1912 by R. T. Irvin, of Mobile. It had prob-
ably come into Mr. Irvin’s hands through Judge Henriosco Austill, son of
Jere Austill. It was through Judge Austill that a very beautiful oil por-
trait of his father was preesnted to the Department and hangs on the
walls of the World War Memorial Building in Montgomery. Judge Austill
came to Clarke County with his father in 1813 and took part in succeeding
years in the perilous border warfare of that day. He was only nineteen
years of age when he participated in the famous Canoe Fight with Sam
Dale and others. In his mature years he became an extensive planter,
raising huge cotton crops. Descendants reside in South Alabama, Vir-
ginia and other sections of the country. He died in 1881.)

My father, Evan Austill, was married to Sarah Files, in Pen-
dleton District, S. C’., in 1793, and I was born the 10th of August,
1794, and the Cherokees being at war with the United States until
the year 1798, when a treaty was held at the Ocony Stations,
whereupon Silas Dinsmore was appointed Chief Agent, and my
father as an assistant and mechanic, to teach the Indians civiliza-
tion ; whereupon the Agency was established near the center of the
Nation, upon the Otenally River, the main branch of the Alabama
River, to which place they moved in the same year, and in 1804,
I was sent to Col. Rhode Easley’s to school, at the high school of
the Appelachy, Ga. But as the Colonel was rarely at home, his
servants treated me very badly, as well as a half-breed of my age.
My father came and carried us both back to the Nation; when at
the age of eleven years old, he carried me to Pendelton, S. C., near
the same place, in charge of George Reed, a very strict Presby-
terian, where I remained one year, and returned to the Agency.
At the age of twelve years, my father employed an Englishman
to teach me and three of my sisters one year, which finished my
schooling. I then went to my Uncle’s, David Files, in Jackson
County, Georgia, and remained in his store for several months,
returning home went to work on his farm until 1809. My father
determined to move to Alexandria, La. We started about the first
of December, by way of the Mussel Shoals, thence down the Ten-
nessee to the Natchez Trace, down which we proceeded within
twenty miles of the cotton gin on the Bigbee, where we were
water bound from excessive rains. For several days we could not
move either way, until we nearly starved out, we then returned to

82

ALABAMA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

Colbert, on the Tennessee, to procure provision. The winter re-
mained so wet, and the water so high, we were compelled to re-
main until April of 1810. In the meantime, Jim Vann, a celebrated
Chief, or leading man of the Nation, was murdered, who had been
opposed to the sale and removal of the C'herokees across the Miss-
issippi. My father concluded the sale would then be made, hence
we returned to the Nation where we had lived, and made crop of
corn and other provisions. But as there was no prospect of an
early sale of the County, and in the interval, James McGaffin, just
from St. Stephens, Ala., stopped a week with us, and such was his
praise of Clarke County, my father was induced to pack up and
move to new Clarke, which had been but recently bought from
the Choctaws. It was indeed all one could desire, the production
of the virgin soil was all one could ask, the range unsurpassed,
and game in abundance.

An incident occurred on our way down through the Creek
nation to Montgomery, just what is now Wetumpka, we were
stopped by a large body of warriors, alleging that it was against
their law for any one to move through their Nation. A council
was held to determine whether we should be murdered, or all our
stock, horses and effects taken from us. During the council, an
Indian countryman came from Tuckabatche, and informed them
that my father had obtained leave from Double Head to come that
way from the Cherokee Nation, whereupon we were allowed to
pass on, and Quarles remained with us until we reached Dales
Ferry. Test we might be disturbed on the way — for the Indians
were very hostile at that time — . We started with sixty head of
fine cows and calves, and on reaching the long leaf pine, the cows
were taken with the murrin, and all died except one cow and
twenty-one calves, and we settled on the dividing ridge between
the river five miles below what is now Suggsville, and in the
spring of 1813, we rented land enough to make a supply of corn
and other crops. In June, it became evident that the Creek In-
dians were preparing for war, whereupon the settlers in the neigh-
borhood assembled and built a stockade or fort, six hundred yards
South of Father’s house, into which about seven hundred souls
moved in, and we had very little space left. Soon after, we learned
some two hundred and fifty Indians were on their way down to
Pensacola for ammunition, taking Jim Cornal’s wife, a white wo-
man, prisoner, burning up his possessions and corncrib, giving the
place the name of Burnt Corn. Whereupon, the citizens of Clarke

SPRING ISSUE, 1944

83

and Washington Counties raised a force of about two hundred or
more mounted men, under the command of Col. James Castin and
Major Woods, with Capt. Samuel Dale, McFarlin, Murrell, who
crossed the Alabama, and marched on to Burnt Corn, there taking
the road to Pensacola, after proceeding some ten miles down into
the fork of Burnt Corn Creek, where they met some one hundred
and fifty or two hundred pack horses with all the Indians in the
rear ascending the ridge. A charge was ordered, but on entering
among the pack horses, found the Indians retreating back on either
side into the cane, and instead of pursuing them, most of the men
dismounted, each to secure a pack horse. The Commander dis-
covered the Indians ascending each stream in the cane to sur-
round them, the Colonel ordered his men to fall back, when the
Indians discovered the confusion, they raised the war whoop and
charged on the Commander, producing a panic, and fled. The Col-
onel could not check the men, leaving several men on foot who
were pursued and killed. Thus ended the Burnt Corn battle.

At that time I was confined with ague and fever, father being
absent in Georgia when the war broke out. Soon after that he
returned alone, traveling through the woods south of the towns
and highways, swimming the Conecue and the Alabama Rivers,
to the great joy of all, and was immediately elected Captain of the
Fort. I had been reading medicine from the time of our forting
under Dr. Lorry, dressing and operating in surgery under his in-
structions, to all that were wounded, up to the last of September,
when I had sufficiently recovered to join an expedition in search
of the Indians who were committing destruction to everything up
Bassetts Creek, being absent several days. Soon after our return,
some Indians approached the Fort and killed one of the soldiers,
who was a short distance from the Fort. Col. Haynes, U. S. Mar-
shal, desired to send dispatches to General Claiborne, at the ar-
senal above Mobile, for aid, whereupon I volunteered to carry the
same, leaving about twelve o’clock. I crossed the river at Car-
ney’s Bluff, and reached headquarters at eight o’clock next morning,
and instead of sending aid, he advised the abandonment of the
Fort, and ordered Col. Carron, who had come to our aid with cav-
alry, to escort us to St. Stephens, where he would make his head-
quarters. About two-thirds left accordingly, leaving my Father
and forty-nine others able to bear arms, men, boys and negroes,
to fight it out. Two weeks later, Claiborne sent Col. Carson back
to our aid, with two hundred men, when Capt. Dale proposed an

84

ALABAMA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

expedition upon the Alabama, and was joined by Capt. Jones,
making up in all seventy-two men. We struck the river above
Gainestown, where we procured two canoes, where we spent the
night in the cane, without fire, 12th vok, 1813. The next morning,
Dale, with all but eight men, started up the East bank, leaving
me in command of the boats, to keep parallel with the land forces.
On reaching Bagley’s farm, a halt was made, and Dale came on
board and crossed to the farm and searched the same, finding
plenty of fresh tracks. Returning, Dale started up for Randon’s
plantation, where I was to meet him. Soon after starting, I dis-
covered a boat descending with ten Indians in it, who seeing us,
tacked about. We immediately gave chase, and gained fast upon
them ; half a mile above, they ran up Randon’s creek into the cane,
soon after Dale and Jones met a party of Indians in the cane cross-
ing the creek, Dale killed the one in front, the Indians dropped
their packs, and a fire was kept up for a few minutes, and Indians
fled in the cane. As the firing ceased, I pushed on up to the land-
ing, soon after the land party arrived. This was at Randon’s
Landing, below Cornel’s Landing or Ferry. Capt. Jones crossed
over with his men and all of Dale’s Company. But twelve men,
to say, Dale, May, Creagher, Smith, Brady, myself and six others,
were roasting potatoes and beef taken up at the creek where the
fight took place, and just as we were taking our potatoes out of
the fire, a large body of Indians were discovered branched off on
either side to surround us. We ran to the bank of the river, and
neither of the canoes had returned, the small one was on the way
over, but then we discovered a large canoe descending with eleven
Indians in it. We ascended the bank some twenty yards, as we
were in a three acre field, and commenced firing on the Indians
in the boat, which was returned by them for several rounds, when
two of them leaped out, and made for the shore about sixty or
eighty yards above us, and above the mouth of a small creek.
Smith and myself ran up to kill them, we were followed by Creagh-
er, who found us up to the waist in mud. being very

heavy, we had to stand on the slope of the bank. I slipped and
fell into the river in pursuit of one of them, both carrying their
guns above water. Smith killed one of them, and the other sprung
up and pointed his gun at Smith, as he ascended the bank, passing
over my gun. I was after him, but ere I got my gun, he was in
the canoe. I pursued him some forty yards for an open place to
shoot him, and was in four feet of a place to fire, a gun was fired
within thirty feet of me, the load passed just over my head. I turn-

85

ed to fire on the offender, and Creagher had just ascended the
bank of the creek, as I was hopping in the canoe, supposing me to
be an Indian; by this means my Indian escaped. We returned to
Smith, and descended the river on the turn of the bank to our
squad. Dale, in the meantime, called to Capt. Jones to send over
the large canoe to capture the Indian boat, and eight men started
over, but when within fifty yards, the man in front rose up so as
to see the number who were lying down loading their guns. He
sung out to the paddler to back out, as there were too many In-
dians in the boat, whereupon they retreated back. The small boat
having reached us, paddled by a negro, (old Caesar) during the
interval, I ordered Brady to ascend the second bank and see if
land party of Indians were closing in upon us, he crawled up, but
seeing no Indians, he rose upon a pile of rails, whereupon some
seven guns were discharged at him, shooting the breach of his
gun off ; with one bount he was in our midst, swearing it was too
hot up there for him. Dale then proposed to Smith and myself to
board the boat. Dale leaped down some ten feet, Smith and my-
self following. We entered the boat in the same order, placing
me in bow; we ran out some twenty yards below the Indians,
and they rose up. We all attempted to fire, Dale’s rifle and my
own missed fire from the wetting of our priming getting into the
boat, Smith missed from the rolling of our boat. Dale then ordered
Ceaser to paddle up in a hurry, upon approaching the boat, the
Chief and myself exchanged blows with our guns, I caught the
end of his and drew him up to me, in reach of Smith and Dale,
who brought him down, Dale breaking his barrel into. Smith
caught the muzzle end, and fought out the battle with it, Dale
getting Smith’s gun with which he made his blows, I used the
Chief’s. Just as we were running up broadside, I had two on me
at a time, until Dale got in the Indians’ boat, and placing himself
opposite to Smith, on reaching the last two, one of them knocked
me down with a war club, falling across their boat and holding
on to the club I recovered my feet, one in each boat ; a scuffle
ensued for the club, which I gained, and knocked him overboard,
the one in my rear having been killed by Dale and Smith ; so ended
the battle. We then started back, old Caesar paddling, Smith
holding the boats together, while Dale and myself threw the In-
dians overboard, there being still eight in the boat, and when
about half out, a ball passed through the boat, and on looking up,
saw three Indians on the second bank just above our nine men
then under the first bank, the second one, taking rest on a stump,

86

ALABAMA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

we stood up sideways, his ball struck the water short of the boat,
and the last took his seat with a large bored rifle, I could see along
his barrel, and felt sure he would hit me ; I drew myself up and
stopped breathing, his ball passed within an inch of my abdomen,
much to my relief. As we were approaching the same shore, the
Indians retired to the main body of two hundred and eighty In-
dians. We received our nine companions, and crossed over to the
West without the Indians knowing it. We ascended the river
bank until we reached the public road, and returned to the Fort.
I was much bruised from the top of my head to my fingers ends,
warding off the blows, and for several days later, was unable to
use my left arm, but during the fight did not feel the blows, not
one word was spoken after my first blow by either of us until all
was over, and the only weapons saved was the Chief’s gun barrel
and the war clubs. The barrel was much bent over their heads.

Early in December, General Claiborne arrived with his army,
and was joined with volunteers under Sam Dale, of our Fort.
Proceeding to the Alabama River, where several Indians were kill-
ed, we crossed on a raft, and built a fort at Claiborne, as a place
of deposit. There we were joined by C. I. Russell, with the Third
Regiment, thence we marched up the public road within a few
miles of the big swamp creek and built a stockade for the wagons
and cannon, leaving thirty men as a guard. Turning off to the
left, we crossed big swamp creek, and reached within six miles
of the Holy Ground, where we spent a very cold night without
fire, but an Indian crossed our trail fire-hunting, and before he
could be captured, he dropped his light and fled to the town, where
he gave warning, and before sunrise, the women and children and
their effects had been carried across the river, and at daylight, our
army crossed a point of three hundred yards, breaking ice an inch
thick. Scouts were seen on the opposite bank where we formed
for battle, and ere we advanced fifty yards, the Indians opened
fire upon the whole length of our line, a charge was ordered, and
a continuous fire was kept up until we reached the towns, where
they made a stand for a short time, then they fled up and down
and across the river. We camped near the towns, which we rifled
and burned that evening. The next morning our men were fired
at across the river, whereupon Russell offered fifty dollars to any
one that would would swim over for a canoe, a soldier swam over
and brought one, I entered it and carried over Pushmatahaw and
five of his men, who lay down on the bank until I carried six sol-

SPRING ISSUE, 1944

87

diers, when we marched up the bank into the cane to give the In-
dians battle, but they fled in the cane. We found a quantity of
plunder piled up in the cane, our Indians and soldiers loaded them-
selves with booty, I appropriated one pair beaded garters. We
then some thirty canoes, and returned over the

river. The army marched that day up to Bell Weatherford’s farm,
the next morning we marched back to our Fort. Passing a farm,
we surprised three Shawnees and killed them, and that night we
reached the Fort, thence back to Claiborne, without a single ration
of bread or meat— nine days. I had saved two ears of corn which
I parched, and gave half to others of my companions. On our re-
turn to Claiborne, rations were issued, and before anything could
be cooked, three-fourths of the army was drunk, and all of the
Indians but one were stretched on the ground. Several of the
volunteers died after returning home. Some days later. Col. Rus-
sell started upon the West side with the Third Regiment, and two
Companies of volunteers, my Father commanded one of them.
The two companies were mounted, and a schooner was sent up the
Alabama to meet them at Cahaba, the old town, the land force
taking one week’s rations with them. But before reaching Cahaba
were out of provisions. They remained there four days waiting for
the schooner, after eating one poor horse. Russell sent Lieutenant
Wilcox, with two others, down the river to turn the schooner back,
and to fire a swivel to let the land party know

where they were. The schooner had passed Cahaba before land
force reached there. Lieutenant Wilcox landed on his way down,
and soon after saw an Indian swimming, and just at his boat. He
ran down and dispatched other Indians, fired and killed the Lieu-
tenant; George Foster, of his party, ran in the cane and made his
escape. A few minutes after, the schooner dropped down and
rescued the body of Wilcox, this gave rise to the name of the
County. Soon after the battle at the Holy Ground, General Jack-
son attacked the Horseshoe upon the Tallapoosa — where most of
the upper towns were fortified — nearly all the Indians were killed.
Jackson then marched down and built the Fort of his name. Soon
after, Weatherford surrendered, and peace was made with the In-
dians, whereupon the people of Georgia commenced moving upon
the Alabama. I determined to select a location, and went up with
eight others to settle about the Tallapoosa. I made a location on
the bluff where Montgomery now stands. At the same time, Col.
Fisher, of St. Stephens, induced a man by the name of Jones, wife
and two daughters, to occupy a Mail Stand, on the road above

88

ALABAMA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

Murder Creek, near a small creek, with a view of resuming the
transportation of the mail, and upon my return, I reached within
five miles of Jones — leaving the road some half mile, camped for
the night, lest the Indians might be on my track, as it was known
that small parties were still out. The next morning, just after
sunrise, I crossed the creek, proceeded fifty yards, ascended an
abrupt elevation of ten feet, in full view of the stand twenty yards
off. At that instant, Jones cried “Murder!” and I saw four In-
dians holding him down on his back, and another elevating his
tomahawk to split his head, and with a flash of mind, I looked
back and called out “Come on”, and charged upon the Indians,
who let go Jones, and fled for the swamp some three hundred
yards. I passed Jones in hot pursuit, as he was rising up, and
he said, “Ah, damn you, you run now, do you.” I pursued on
until they approached the swamp. I then drew up and looked
back and abused my Company for not coming up. Three of the
Indians fired on me as they entered the cane, without effect. I
remained there some ten minutes, talking all the time, that they
might believe that I was not alone. On my return, Jones and his
family, whom the Indians had not seen, being after water, had
packed up their clothing and were on the way to Claiborne. I
remained with them for some ten miles, I then left, and reached
Claiborne that night. The next day Jones arrived, and said to
me he would stop until he reached the Mississippi. Soon after,
the Government forbid all persons from settling upon public land
without a special permit. My uncle, Col. D. Files, was then open-
ing a store at St. Stephens, and urged me to abandon my contem-
plated location at Montgomery, and act as clerk for him ; this was
in the latter part of 1815, where I remained until the month of
November, when John Hillard died in Mobile, to whom my Uncle
had given a letter of credit for twenty thousand dollars, and had
just arrived with a stock of goods. On receipt of the news, I
mounted a horse and reached Mobile at sunrise, discharged the
goods, and opened the store and sold about three-fourths of the
stock up to the first of June. I then shipped the balance to St.
Stephens. Soon after my Uncle was appointed paymaster to settle
the debts incurred during the war, with a draft on New Orleans
for the money. I set out for New Orleans, and arrived there by
steamer the 28th July, drew the money, bought a bill of groceries,
and on the first day of August was taken with yellow fever, and
would certainly have died but for Dr. Carr, who insulted me very
highly, and I discharged him, and my friends called in a German

SPRING ISSUE, 1944

89

doctor — and from one hundred and eighty pounds I was reduced
to less than one hundred, and did not leave until the 8th of Sep-
tember, and it is more than probable that I would have been
robbed and murdered on my return. Two butchers and a Creole,
hearing that I was to bring a considerable amount of money on
my return, waylaid the road fifteen miles above Mobile for some
time, being disappointed, they robbed a stranger coming down
to the city of six hundred dollars. The Creole was taken upon
suspicion, and turned State’s evidence. The butchers escaped, so
ended the case.

I remained with my Uncle till the first of April, 1818. I set
out on sail for New York, taking on some seven hundred bales of
cotton, a storm came on when passing the bar, and was driven
high and dry, had the cargo taken out and reshipped, in going
through the channel were fired into by a whom

we were approaching to speak to. We tacked about. Some days
after, came very near being captured by a pirate, and but for a
finer looking vessel approaching, which was captured, and we
escaped and arrived in New York the 8th of May, 1818. The cot-
ton was sold at thirty-two to thirty-five cents. I purchased a
stock of goods, and shipped out for Files and Austill. Then came
on to Baltimore, to settle some bills of my Uncle, and meeting
with Major K we went down and spend a day with the officers

at Fort McHenry. The next day the Major and myself returned
to Philadelphia, settled some bills there, thence back to New York,
where I remained until the 12th of December. I then returned
by Charleston to Augusta, where I obtained a horse, and reached
Claiborne the 5th January, 1819, to which place my Uncle had
moved our store. In 1820, we sold our stock at auction, having
previously sold by wholesale to merchants at Ca-

haba, Montgomery and Greensboro, all of whom failed, as cotton
fell from twenty cents to seven or eight cents, causing a general
bankruptcy. My Uncle had been appointed Marshal for South
Alabama, and on the 20th of October, died of the same year, leav-
ing me much involved in debt.

I was married on the 9th of March, to Martha Hayse, daugh-
ter of Captain James Hayse, at Burnt Corn, the same year, and
she died on the first of November, 1820. My father died on the

90

ALABAMA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

18th of October, 1818, from disease contracted in Florida, in pur-
suit of Indians, who had killed two families in what is now part
of Butler County, he being Captain of a Cavalry Company at that
time. After my wife’s death, I sold my farm at Burnt Corn, and
paid off some seven thousand dollars of my liabilities, and returned
two negroes given to my wife by Captain Hayse. I transferred
my interest in my Father’s estate to my Mother, and of three fine
horses I owned. They all died in the space of three days, of dif-
ferent diseases. Tolliver Livingston was appointed Marshal for
the unexpired term of my Uncle, who being a cripple, appointed
me Deputy, to discharge the duties of Marshal, which place I
filled until the fall of 1823, when the Judge appointed me Clerk of
the District Court at Mobile. I then settled there, and was ap-
pointed weigher of cotton, which was then weighed with English
a slow process. I soon after had the calipers made,
by which I could weigh seven hundred bales or more in the day.
Soon after the planters commenced sending their cotton to sell,
which increased so much that I was compelled to resign the clerk-
ship, going then entirely into commission business. In all this
time, I bought a negro woman for my Aunt, and supported the
family for two years. In 1825 a Volunteer Company of Irish was
made up, called the Irish Greens, and elected me their Captain.
And after being well organized and uniformed, the yellow fever
killed all of the Company but six or seven, and broke up the Com-
pany in 1826; and in 1827, the first Hook and Ladder Company
was formed, and I was made Foreman of the same, which place
I occupied until February, 1829, when Thomas Rhodes and my-
self contracted to carry the mail to New Orleans, by land to Pas-
cagoula, and thence by water to New Orleans. We were to build
the road for four thousand dollars, and carry the mail for fourteen
thousand per annum. The contract was entered into in 1828, we
completed the road and commenced carrying the mail in the fall
of the same year. But from the increase of the passengers, and
softness of the road during winter, caused several failures, and
our boat did not answer the purpose. Well, I determined to go
and have a new boat built at Pittsburg, proceeding by the way of
Washington, which place I reached in time to witness General
Jackson’s inauguration as President, and such was the crowd that
not a vacant bed could be had within ten miles of the city. After
trying in vain, I hired a chair to sleep in by the fire. About
eleven o’clock at night, Col. Dinsmore came in from a large book
sale and discovered me, and rousing up, gave me half his bed

SPRING ISSUE, 1944

91

whilst I remained. After the inauguration, I drew eight thousand
dollars on account of the contract, and to my astonishment, found
the stages engaged for three days ahead. A day after, however,
a steamer left for Baltimore. I succeeded in getting on board, and
found so many that no more than one half could even lie down
that night. The next day we reached Baltimore, finding a number
desiring to take the same route. We had a hard race for the of-
fice, I reached it first, and entered my name and a friend, making
five, with three of the city. The Governor of Ohio and his suite,
six in number, slipped off to the contractor, and were taken ere
it came round for the first three. Seeing the trick, I got in the
stage and shoved two of the suite overboard, and called in my
friends. The result was, the Governor got out with the balance
of his suite, the first three got in, and off we drove.

LIFE OF MARGARET ERVIN AUSTILL

(Margaret Eades who has left this hitherto unpublished account of
her experiences as a young girl, daughter of a pioneer and witness of
many of the bloody scenes of the Creek Indian War of 1813-14, married
Jeremiah Austill, whose autobiography also appears in this issue of the
Quarterly. Mrs. Austill died in 1890 having borne several children whose
descendants still live in South Alabama and other sections of the country.

The magazine’s object in presenting from time to time personal reminis-
cences of life in Alabama, is to inspire the present and future generations
to emulate the qualities of courage and moral fortitude exemplified in the
lives of their ancestors, the founders and builders of this great State.)

My father, John Eades, was a native of Georgia, my mother.
Jenny Fee, was born in Ireland, in the County Atmah. Fathei
and Mother first met in Augusta, Georgia, where they were mar-
ried in 1802. They then left Augusta and bought a farm in Wash-
ington County on the Uchee Creek, where they lived happily and
made money rapidly. Father had a saw mill and cotton gin, about
the first one that was put up in the County. I well remember
the mode of packing cotton in that early day. A round bag was
fixed in a round hole in the floor of the gin house, which hung
down some ten feet. A big negro man jumped in with an iron
crowbar, two hands threw in the cotton, and the packer did the
work by jambing it hard with an awful grunt every lick. I was
dreadfully afraid to go near the big bag with Hie negro inside
shaking it.

Oh, it was a sad day when Father determined to move
to Louisiana, but so it was, that on a bright morning in the spring
of 1811, the wagons were loaded and three families were assembled
at my Father’s house. My Uncle, Daniel Eades, his wife and one
daughter, Mr. Billy Locklin and wife, and about one hundred
slaves, men, women and children, and with much weeping at part-
ing from dear old friends, the drivers cracked their whips and off
we rolled, much to my delight. But my sister, five years older
than myself, was weeping bitterly. I was all talk, she said to me
“Do hush, you too will rue the day.” Childlike, I reveled in a
bustle and change. Well, the first night we camped at Sweetwater
Iron Works, where Father’s sister, Mrs. Jenkins, came to bid us
good-bye. She was a jolly old soul, — was Aunt Priscilla. She
spent the night with us in camp, after breakfast next morning she

SPRING ISSUE, 1944

93

drew out a flask of rye rum from her pocket, saying “John and
Daniel, I drink to all, good luck attend you, but the next thing I
hear will be that you all have been scalped by the savages, so be
on your guard, for war will surely come, and that soon. Farewell,
may the Lord guide you through the wilderness.” Our party
traveled on through the Cherokee Nation without the least trouble.
The Indians were kind and friendly, but as soon as we entered
the Creek or Muskogee Nation, we could see the terrible hatred
to the white, but as we advanced, we were joined by many movers,
which gave us more security. At night the wagons were all fixed
round the encampment, the women and children and negroes in
the center, the men keeping guard with guns, so we made a for-
midable appearance of defense. One night after a fearful day, the
Indians had followed us for miles, we camped in an old field. Just
as supper was announced, a most terrific earthquake took place,
the horses all broke loose, the wagon chains jingled, and every
face was pale with fear and horror. The Indians came in num-
bers around us looking frightened, and grunting out their prayers.
The trees lapped together, and Oh, the night was spent in terror
by all, but next day some of the Indians came to us, and said it
was Tecumseh stamped his foot for war. Then the rain set in,
not a day without rain until we crossed the Alabama, there were
no roads, and mud and water large creeks to cross with slender
bridges made by the Indians, which they demanded toll at a high
price for every soul that crossed a bridge, and often rather than
pay, the men would make their negroes cut trees and make a
bridge, which gave the Indians great anger, and they would threat-
en us with death. No doubt we would have been killed had it not
been for Uncle Daniel Eades, who had been stolen from the Fort
in Georgia by the very people that threatened us. He was a little
boy, only a year old when the Indians took him from the nurses
and carried him to the Nation, and gave him as a present to their
big Medicine Man, who raised him and taught him his craft in
roots and herbs. He would talk to them and defy them, he would
go to his wagon and draw out Grandfather’s long sword that he
wore in the Revolution, brandish the sword, and speak to them
in their own language, telling them they were fools, that they
were nothing, and could never whip the whites, but that their
Nation would be destroyed. They would listen to him, and raised
their blankets around their shoulders and move off, doggedly shak-
ing their heads. Well, finally we crossed the Alabama River at
Dale’s Ferry, we then were in Clarke County, bound for Louisiana,

expecting to cross the Tombigbee next day at Carney’s Ferry.
That night we camped at this place, some of the neighbors came
to see us, Mr. Joel Carney, Mr. Henry B. Slade, Mr. George S.
Gullet, and every one begged Father and all the travelers with him
to stop here until they could recruit their teams that were com-
pletely broken down. They said we could never get through the
swamp on the other side of Bigbee, and after a consultation, all
consented to remain until they could make corn to fatten their
teams. Father bought this place, which was only a claim with a
small log cabin on it. Daniel Eades rented the Sun Flower Bend,
Billy Locklin built a cabin on Salt Creek, and put up a saw and
grist mill on the creek in a very short time, the first saw mill that
was built in Clarke County. So Father put some hands to cutting
cane and planted corn. He had brought a whip saw with him,
he put up large logs of pine on a scaffold, and with two negroes,
one on top and one at the bottom. They sawed planks for flooring,
for every family then lived in cabins on ground floors. Father
kept on building and making us comfortable, but when the corn
was gathered, Uncle Daniel Eades said, “Well, John, it is time to
be off, let us hurry up and be gone, the waters are low, the roads
good, the teams fat, and all well. This is no country for us, let
us travel.” Father said, “Daniel, I am getting* fixed up here, the
water is splendid, the land good enough, and you have made a fine
crop of corn, we have wild game plenty for the shooting, and I
can’t see that we could do better.” “John,” he replied, “You will
never make a fortune here, so come with me, I hate to leave you,
but here I will not stay.” But Father would not leave, so Uncle
Daniel left, and we only had one year of peace, for the Indians
came down upon us with vengeance. Uncle Daniel came back
for us, said everything he could to get Father to go with him, but
all in vain, so he left us to battle through the fearful war. One
morning, Mother, Sister, and myself were at home alone except
the servants, Father had gone to the plantation, when a man rode
up to the gate and called to Mother to fly, for the Creek Indians
had crossed the Alabama, and were killing the people. Mother
said, “Where shall I fly to, in God’s name?” He said, “There are
a number of people coming to cross the Bigbee to get into the
Choctaw Nation, they will be along in a few moments, but where
is Captain Eades?” “Down at the river,” said Mother. “Well,”
he said, “Run, down there and go over the river,” so we took our
bonnets, Mother took her silver, and we left the house in a run.
Our cook, a tall black handsome woman, said “Missus, I will stay

at home and take care of things and take you something to eat
if I can find you, the devils are afraid of me, you know.” Mother
said, “Hannah, you will be murdered.” Hannah was a natural
curiosity, she was black, or rather blue-black, with clear blue eyes,
which gave her a peculiar appearance. As we traveled through
the Nation the Indians often came to the camp and demanded
bread, they would say “bread, gimme some, gimme all,” Mother
would say to Hannah to give them bread, she would say, “I had
rather give them shot and powder,” then she would stretch her
blue eyes and throw chuncks of fire at them, and make them scam-
per off, saying “Och, och,” their grunt when frightened.

Well we ran as fast as we could, and met Father about a mile
from home with horses, he had heard the news too. Mother sent
the horses on to help a family by the name of Carter to get to the
river, they had a large family of small children. Father told us
that people were gathering at Carney’s Bluff, and were at work
there building a Fort, all hands, negroes and whites. When we
arrived at the river it was a busy scene, men hard at work chop-
ping and clearing a place for a Fort, women and children crying,
no place to sit down, nothing to eat, all confusion and dismay,
expecting every moment to be scalped and tomahawked. We all
sat round until night, people coming in continually, for this part
of Clarke was thickly settled, I went to Mother and told her I was
tired and sleepy, she untied her apron and spread it down on the
ground, and told me to say my prayers and go to sleep, so I laid
me down, but could not sleep, the roots hurt me so badly. I told
Mother I had rather jump in the river than lie there, she quietly
replied, “Perhaps it would be best for us all to jump in the river,”
then made me lie still. I had thought Mother would take me on
her lap if I was so willing to die. With superhuman exertion, the
-Fort was finished in one week, the tents all comfortable, the streets
full of soldier boys drilling, drums beating, pipes playing, but no
Indians yet. Our scouts were out all the time. The brave fellows
had a hard time tramping through swamps and canebrakes, but
Oh, after the war did set in in Thirteen, we were in great peril
all the time.

One night our sentinels were hailed by Jere Austill, they
came and awoke Father, who went out immediately and let him
in. He told Father that the Fort Sinquefield had stampeded, the
people all making for our Fort or St. Stephens, and the people in
his Father’s Fort, near Suggsville, were in the act of breaking up

96

ALABAMA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

too, but they had concluded to send him down to the arsenal for a
Company of Regulars, and if they could get them, they would
hold the Fort. Mother roused the cook, and gave Jere a nice sup-
per at midnight, Father put him over the river and saw the Gen-
eral, told his business, and was glad to hear the order for the
Company to come back with him, but Jere begged to be excused,
said “Send the soldiers, but I must travel alone.”

We fared very well in the Fort, thanks to Hannah, the faith-
ful servant that stayed at home. She made the garden, milked
the cows, churned the butter, raised chickens, and came every
other day to the Fort with a large basket on her head. Mother
would say, “Hannah, you are a jewel, what would we do without
you, thanks to your blue eyse.” So often she said she saw moc-
casin tracks in the path. Time passed on with fear and trembling
with the grown folks, but we children engaged every moment. I
was in every tent in the day, some laughable things would occur.
There was a Mrs. Smith, quite an original, she was a very good
woman, but violent tempered. The boys took great delight in
teasing her, she often threw hot water on them, one day the car-
penters were at work building a block house to mount a cannon
on the top, two of the men became outrageously mad with each
other, and Garner, a great bully, who was always kicking up a
fuss, drew a broadax on a defenseless man, screaming lie would
split him open. The man took to his heels and Garner after him,
threw tents over women and children, finally the man ran through
Mrs. Smith’s, and Garner after him, full tilt, the old lady grabbed
up a three-legged stool, saying “ dead”, but I let him

have it, one corner of the stool struck Garner on the temple, and
down he went, blood spurting from his nose. She thought she
had killed him dead. She ran over to Mother’s tent and said,
“Where is Captain Eades? By the Lord I have killed Garner,
and he must put me over the river, for Garner’s folks will string
me up if they catch me.” She ran to meet Father, and he took her
to the river and set her over in the canebrake. She said, “Now
you go back, and if Garner is dead, you come to the bluff and
whistle on your thumbs, then by the Lord Old Betsy Smith is off
to the Choctaw Nation.” When Father returned, Garner had been
brought around, and after that became a very quiet and peaceful
man, never bragged or bullied more during the war.

After we had been in the Fort six months, the Indians became
very hostile, crossed the Alabama and burned houses, corn, de-

SPRING ISSUE, 1944

97

stroyed cattle, and killed people that were at home in spite of all
that could be done by the scouts. Every family was obliged to
go into a Fort. There was an old widow named Cobb, who had
two sons old enough to be in the service, but she told them to stay
at home and make corn, she was not afraid of Indians, but one
day while the boys were plowing in the field, they saw Indians
jumping over the fence, the boys stripped the gear off the horses,
mounted in a moment, and flew to the house, calling their Mother.
She ran out to meet them, and just as she passed her chimney
corner, she saw her dye tub with indigo blue, she just turned the
whole contents into her lap, jumped up behind her son and gal-
loped to our Fort from Choctaw Bluff, eight miles. When they
arrive, they were all blue, from head to foot. That was the only
thing they saved was the thread that was in the blue dye. The
women in the Fort all joined and soon made a piece of cloth of the
blue, for all had spinning wheels and looms in the Fort, for it was
the only way that clothes were obtained in those days. The day
Fort Mims fell was a sad day to all the country. Every heart
nearby became paralyzed with fear, and our men that had been
so brave, became panic striken, and their families pleading to be
taken to Fort St. Stephens. Father and dear old Captain Foster
spoke to them in vain, they stampeded, some families took to the
canebrakes, some to St. Stephens, some down the river to Fort
Stoddard, where the arsenal is now. Just as Father and Mother,
with Sister and myself were in the act of getting into the canoe
to cross the Bigbee, for not a soul was left in the Fort, a young
man came running down the bluff calling to Father not to leave
him, for God’s sake, to be murdered, for the Indians were coming.
“Oh, don’t leave me, I shall die if you do.” Mother was standing
on the bank until we were safely seated, for the canoe was a small
one, could only carry four persons. Father told the man that it
was impossible for him to take him in that his family must be
saved first. The poor fellow cried out, “Oh, God, I shall be killed.”
Mothe rsaid, “Oh, dear husband, take the coward in, I will wait
here until you come after me,” and she actually pushed him in,
and with her foot sent the canoe flying off, and sat down on the
sand quietly waiting Father’s return. As soon as the boat struck
shore, the fellow made tracks for the Choctaw Nation. In a few
days, after the excitement, all the people returned and pledged
themselves to remain and hold the Fort. In the meantime, the
young folks were courting and making love, although they were in
a Fort expecting to lose their scalps at any moment. Mr. George

98

ALABAMA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

S. Gullet became engaged to my sister, Mary Eades, and then
implored our parents to allow the marriage, because he could be
of so much help to us, could take care of Sister, and then Father
would only have Mother and me to take care of, so they consented
that the marriage should take place in the Fort. Mother sent
Hannah word that she must get up a large wedding supper, and
manage to get it to the Fort. Hannah came down in a complete
upsetment, “Name of de Lord, Missus, what I gwine do for all de
silibubs and tings for Miss Mary’s wedding?” Mother said, “Never
mind, Hannah, make plenty chicken pies, I can buy turkey from
the Choctaws, save cream, make plenty of potato custards and
huckleberry tarts. We will have coffee enough for all the Fort,
so go right at the work.” “Well, well, did I ever tink to see de day,
did I ebber, my Lord, Miss Mary must be crazy. But she set to
work with a will. Invitations were general to the whole inhabi-
tants of the Fort, they were married, and a jolly wedding it was.
One old man sat down to the long table, looked over at Mother,
and she said, “Help your self, sir.” I thank you, Madam, I will
with presumption.” I laughed, and being a little girl, was sent off
from the table.

Not long after the wedding we had a respite, the Indians were
driven back, and all returned joyfully to their houses. Very few
had been destroyed this side of Choctaw Bluff, but we could hear
of fearful murders. Men would venture too far, and again and
again we were forced to return to the Fort until at last General
Jackson came to our rescue and finished the war. All the gallant
young men joined his army. My Father carried his provisions up
the Alabama in his barge, even as high as Fort Jackson above
Wetumpka. Sam Dale, Jere Austill, and many others were with
Jackson fighting like heroes for many months, and after the In-
dians gave up, they went with Jackson to Pensacola and Mobile,
some went to New Orleans. Austill was very sick at the Battle
of New Orleans, but one of his cousins was killed there, he was a
Files. About the last of Fourteen all the people were gay, money
was plenty, and the people were pouring in by thousands. The
County was filled with young men looking for land, school teach-
ers getting up schools. The largest school in the territory was at
St. Stephens, there I was sent with many a poor little waif to
learn grammar. Our teacher was Mr. Mayhew, from North Caro-
lina, a splendid teacher and good man.

POEMS

FOR THEM NO POPPIES

(A contemporary sonnet)

By Mary S. Butler, Selma, Alabama

For them no poppies blow;

No song of lark on nearby thorn;

No whisper of the neighboring corn ;

No friendly sound of scythe or hoe.

For them, O restless desert sand,
Forever shifting, day and night,

Keep motion in a lonely land,

Neath Libyan sky, now dark, now light.

Warm sun, shine gently on each cross
That marks fond parents’ filial loss.

Soft breezes from the ancient sea.

Go forth and sing their elegy.

And, white stars gleaming overhead,
Stand guard above our gallant dead !

EMBLEMS

I taught my son to love his Flag ;

To make his wishes on a star ;

I told him life was beautiful !

But that was Peace and this is War.

A flag was draped upon his bier ;

They sent to me the medalled dross ;

And now I know what price is Peace :
Renunciation, and a cross.

Because dry-eyed I watched him go.

But I know — And by this token
It is not so ... . Inside I’m broken.

I WILL LOOK UNTO THE HILLS

I do not ask for power to see what is withheld,
Nor yet to have my sorrows all dispelled.

Only that I might have the patience of the hills
To bear whatever comes to me. If ills
Befall me, Lord, this darksome day.

Let me remember — others too, have gone this way
The way is long — Ah yes, the steps are steep !

Give me courage, Lord, and let me keep
My vision clear to see through every ill
The fall of sunlight on a hill.

V-MAIL FROM MOTHER

By Martha Lyman Shillito

Look to the nearest, brightest star
Somewhere out there, wherever you are
Safe hid within the glowing heart
In words too tender to impart
You’ll find my treasured memories
To bind our hearts across the sea.

Beyond some valley of despair,

Climb to the highest hill and share
My hour of happy interlude
Of faith and humble gratitude
That each night you may read anew
My constant love and need of you.

“COLOUR BEARERS”

We have never forgotten those boys in grey,
Nor the boys who wore the blue.

Though they crossed their swords in battle fray,
Each were soldiers brave and true !

But time has erased the bitter sting
And healed the Country’s wound,

And united, our prayers and our praises ring
For the boys in the khaki brown !

“MEMORIAL DAY”

Tread softly here

And reverently bow your head.

This hallowed ground is dear.

Here sleep our Soldier Dead !

A laurel wreath we have laid
Against each simple cross.

They, with their life, have paid ;

Tis ours to mourn their loss.

May honors to them never cease.

They died to keep us free.

May each one find eternal Peace
At that last Reveille !

With choice wreaths for our Soldier dead,
Forget not, living ones need bread !

“OXALIS”

A little plant so widely known
And loved, the whole world over,

Resembling close in shape and form
The three round leaves of clover.

Shamrock, sorrel, oxalis, —

It is given many a name ;

Pink, white or yellow flowers,

All love it just the same.

It greets us in the garden;

In the woodland ; from a pot.

Spreading cheer for every one,

No matter what its lot.

And when the evening draws
The sable curtains over day,

It is then the lovely Oxalis
Folds her leafy hands to pray!

And in that attitude of prayer
She sleeps all through the night,

But wakens joyfully to greet
The early morning light.

“WHITE IRIS”

Tone White Iris by the cemetery wall,

Lifting up your lovely head
Standing brave and tall ;

A fitting symbol for our dead,

Guardian over all.

You lift your standards to the sky,

A tribute to the risen Lord ;

Spread perfume with each zephyr’s sigh,

Your incense, to the One adored.

Not one can pass you by.

White Iris, sing your praise to God ;

Your lonely vigil keep,

For there is something precious in the sod
Wherein our loved ones sleep !

THE GULF THAT SEPARATES

Man visions high-flung viaducts of steel
And stone: behold a miracle is wrought!

Great stony piers and climbing arches feel
Their way through a resisting torrent, taught
By man’s strategic mind. There is the sound
Of riviters, of pounding drills, a thud
Of hammers echoing in fierce rebound,

Spanning the chasm, conquering the flood.

So moves the world of man in endless transit,

Always another bridge to plan and build ;

Vistas obscuring life’s inevitable sunset,

When night grows dark with fond dreams unfulfilled.
I build no bridge, for only God can see
The gulf that separates my love from me.

Is it then “Good-Bye?

And you will go away?

Into the dreamy past, while I . . .

I must stay?

Nights of silver sweetness,

Whirr of vibrant wings,

All of life’s completeness,

A bird sings :

Fireflies, dew falling,

A brisk wind from the west,

Must you go? Some one calling?

To this bold new-comer,

My heart goes right along
With you, sweet summer.

THE DAHLIA

The dahlia is the queen of flowers, tall,

Majestic, radiantly towering

Above the flowers that bloom in early Fall.

Acknowledged sovereign, her subjects fling
Their loveliness in homage at her feet,

A splash of color — yellow — purple — red.

In silent recognition of complete
Allegiance, she bows her stately head.

The colors of the Autumn sunset were
Distilled to tint her coronation gown,

And, tipped with diamonds, her gorgeous sheaf
Of fringes glitter in the morning stir
Of nature. Regally she wears her crown
With one regret, her glory is so brief.

THE SONG THEY SANG ON FOURTH OF JULY IN OLD

MONTGOMERY

The poem printed below was sung at the Independence Day
celebrations in Montgomery on July 4, 1823. It was written by
Charles Shaiv, one of the first lawyers and teachers in the town. The
verse is worth preserving, if for no other reason than that it re-
flects the friendly sentiments of Americans of that day to Greece
struggling against Turkish rule and the Spaniards in their war
against the Holy Alliance of the monarchs of Europe.

It was sung to the tune of the “STAR SPANGLED BAN-
NERS better known in those days, as the air of “Anacreon in
Heaven,” an old English drinking song.

“When the Birthday of Freedom rolls
around with the year.

What heart beats not high in its glad
celebration ;

From despot abroad or at home
naught to fear,

While one kindred soul inspires our
whole nation.

No guardian need we,

On the land or the sea,

To protect our own rights — We are
born to be free.

Beneath our own oaks, and our
own pines we’ll repose,

While our soldiers and sailors
repel all our foes.

Shall Honor forget the names of
the brave,

Who for man and his rights so bravely
contended ?

Their names shall not sleep in obliv-
ion’s grave —

On Washington’s scroll to Heaven,

They’re ascended.

There a galaxy bright

On the globe they throw light,

And spangled with glory the robe of the night.

the bannered-Cross rise.

And high o’er the Crescent resplendently

Her heroes of old look down from the skies
On the fields where their swords once o’er

Like Spartans of old
Her fair daughters bold

Cheer her sons to renown — clad in fleece of gold
“So Constantine’s banner fix’d bright in the air,

A Cross in the Heavens — God’s sign of salvation.”

BOOK REVIEWS

Tuskegee and the Black Belt by Anne Kendrick Walker. The Dietz
Press. 1944. $3.00.

Anne Kendrick Walker is well known to Alabamians as an
historian, particularly through her widely popular Backtracking in Bar-
bour County. This fact, with the added fact that her most recent vol-
ume is dedicated to an historian (Mrs. Marie Bankhead Owen)
indicates something of the quality of the book. Tuskegee and the Black
Belt offers an historical approach to race relationships in the South and
the social evolution of the Negro. In her short, well written volume,
Miss Walker offers no radical program of political reform and no
conservative program of economic repression. As a matter of fact,
she offers no practical program at all. Her book, consequently,
is something new in the vast library of recent books about racial
problems. But Miss Walker, as a student, has read history with
understanding and is a liberal. She has read that democracy is an
expanding ideal in modern history, not an a priori fact. She has
read that the troubles of white people and colored people are so
closely knit that the historian must write about both when writing
about one.

If Tuskegee has a single theme, it is “the practice of friendship
and justice among the two races.” The quotation is not drawn
from the body of the book, but from the Introduction — the finely
humanitarian speech made by Governor Chauncey Sparks on Foun-
ders Day at Tuskegee in 1943. But although she did not coin the
phrase, Miss Walker is most concerned with these practices of
friendship and justice, their beginning, their growth, and their
trend.

The tone of the volume is set by the Art Section at the very
beginning, consisting of twenty-nine plates. This is largely com-
posed of scenes from Negro life reproduced from the paintings
and lithographs of Alabama artists. The fact that Kelly Fitzpat-
rick, Anne Goldthwaite, Mildred Nungester and others are well
represented indicates not only the aesthetic value of the plates but
their realistic integrity.

SPRING ISSUE, 1944

107

Tuskegee is divided into three parts. Part 1 includes some con-
sideration of provisions for early education in the South and a de-
tailed account of the history of Tuskegee Institute. Here the
author does some of her finest writing, with portraits of Booker T.
Washington, Professor Carver, Dr. Moton, and Dr. Patterson.
They stand out from her pages against the background of Tus-
kegee life as the remarkable men they were. Miss Walker’s skill
with picturesque and significant detail is well known to her read-
ers. Booker T. Washington, is there with all his gift of oratory
and vision, but also with the nervous tic that wried his smile and
his maddening habit of calling on people day or night if he wanted
to work.

Having shown that exigencies of the War Between the States
led to the beginning of one of the finest of the “practices of friend-
ship and justice among the two races,” the author proceeds to prob-
lems that arose after World War 1. Here she quotes the articulate
of both races, radical as well as conservative. The chapter headings
indicate her approach. “The Negroes’ Bill of Grievances” and “The
White Man’s Woes” include a long list of greater and lesser com-
plaints : segregation, inadequate leadership, disfranchisement, eco-
nomic discrimination. To these and many more Miss Walker acts
as arbiter rather than pleader. Whenever she presents a problem,
she also presents a counter-problem, a gloss, or a modifying com-
ment. It is the line of history and justice she is indicating.

In all that formidable list the author never loses her calm,
sane detachment of her sense of justice. It is a skillful technique
she uses. There is accusation of no one, only a marshalling of facts
and opinions to show that both races have troubles and that the
welfare of one is the welfare of the other. By quotations and facts
she also shows that neither incendiary nor reactionary has stopped
the flow of history toward the achievement of freedom for non-
white races (yellow and red, as well as black).

Part 111 is largely given over to Negro accomplishments in
art, music, and literature, as well as the use of Negro materials
by white artists. The list itelf and the discussion offer a nice bal-
ance to the Art Section at the beginning of the volume and return
the reader to the original tone. Part 111 also gives some consid-
eration to the future of the Negro race, the effects of migration, of
disease, of admixture of races, and other complicated physical and
psychological factors.

108

ALABAMA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

Miss Walker offers no geo-political program, no cut-and-dried
solution. But she ends with emphasis on the fact that the prob-
lem of race relationships is no longer a Southern problem. It is
national and international. It involves not only Negroes but all
non-white races. She leaves little doubt in the reader’s mind that
the solution of the problems will be part of the evolution of the
stream of history. She leaves even less doubt in the reader’s mind
that the basis for sound race relationships must be found in the
“practice of friendship and justice among the two races.”

The Fatal River — The Life and Death of La Salle by Frances Gaither.

Henry Holt & Co.

This book of Mrs. Gaither’s is neither her first nor her last
effort and has probably not proved her most popular nor widely
read. It is a chonicle, a biography, or as her publishers term it a
dramatic narrative, which among the general public would attract
fewer readers and admirers than her last novel Follow the Drinking
Gourd.

There is nothing that stamps it as essentially modern or time-
ly. It is of the type that can be read today or a decade hence and
prove as interesting and as valuable at the one time as at the
other. Unfortunately, in view of the ceaseless procession of books
surging through the press and shoving one another off the book
counters, it is a question if, in another decade, it will be remem-
bered, since it falls short of being a masterpiece. It is true that
many authors write for the immediate present and do not aim or
expect to survive as standard or classic. But it is to be regretted
that after so much labor and thought with such excellent results
such a piece of literature should be shelved.

For Mrs. Gaither does expend thought and time and effort in
gathering her material. All her books have a factual or historic
or atmospheric basis which require wide reading, deep research
and careful assimilation before they attain their final form. When
possible she has visited the localities described, saturated her mind
with distinctive characteristics and caught the local color — all of
which give a sense of reality and authenticity. Where she has

SPRING ISSUE, 1944

109

not been able to see with the physical eye, it is evident that her
mind’s eye has framed a vivid picture.

In this book, The Fatal River, the story opens in the French
city of Rouen and she portrays the streets, the church spires pierc-
ing the fog, the wharves and the leaning, gabled houses with such
a realistic even loving touch that one is inclined to believe that
she has seen them. She and her husband, Rice Gaither also a
writer, spent several months in France years ago and it is a prob
ability that she rambled through these same streets, entered the
cathedral, and stored away memories to be brought out eventually
in some as yet unthought-of volume.

The Fatal River, so named by Joutel, one of La Salle’s faithr
ful companions, is of course the Mississippi and the chief character
he who was born Robert Chevelier, who after his childhood school-
ing was to become Brother Ignatius of the Jesuit Order. But the
restless adventurous heart broke its clerical bonds and he sailed to
Canada. There to conceal his disaffection to the church he took
the name of Rene (or as some books give it Rene Robert) adding
the name of his father’s property near Rouen, Rene de la Salle and
still later by the grace of King Louis XIV becoming Sieur de La
Salle. But to the world at large he is simply La Salle whom the
historian McMaster terms “one of the greatest explorers of our
country.”

The story of this eager, daring, adventurous youth and the
sad, weary man he became before his quest is ended, together
with his many expeditions, achievements, disasters, disappoint-
ments and death are more or less well known to any reader of
history, but Mrs. Gaither creates an atmosphere and furnishes set-
tings that are vivid and convincing. The account moves clearly
and without confusion.

The bibliography accompanying the study shows the surpris-
ing amount of original material still in existence : letters, diaries,
documents, etc., from which the author was able to draw and
which give to her account the accuracy and sequence that make
her book so readable. On the other hand, however, one wonders
if in the matter of detail and repetition the narrative does not be-
come a bit over-loaded and retarded and the reader proportionately
weary.

She makes vivid those early years spent in travel back and
forth through the Great Lakes, struggling with storms and the
hard Canadian winters, building forts and establishing outposts
and negotiating with the Indians — some friendly and others hostile
and held in check only by gifts and tactful dealings.

The heart-breaking loss of boats, desertion of his companions,
machinations of jealous priests and fur dealers, false reports, doubt-
ing epistles from the King in France and crowning sorrow — perfidy
of his own brother, the Abbe Jean Chevelier — these are the matters
that fell on his troubled heart and made his friends urge him and
his enemies believe him destined to abandon his original purpose
of tracing his great river to the Gulf.

This second stage of La Salle’s explorations — the finding and
tracing the river below the point previously reached by Marquette
and Joliet was little less arduous and unhappy than the first farther
north. Although by this time having sanction of the king to estab-
lish a settlement and take the country in the name of France,
here again he was sadly hampered, especially by Beaujeau, the
captain of the largest of the three vessels that had sailed with him
from the mother country.

Some writers claim that LaSalle was difficult to deal with
since he was often silent, secretive and severe. But a man who
could transform hostile and suspicious savages into faithful friends
must have been endowed with unusual tact and patience. He evi-
dently expected greater understanding and cooperation from white
men and those his own countrymen. But it was his sad fortune
to meet in great measure with jealousy and opposition. And this
attitude reached its climax in his treacherous murder by one of his
own men among the tall grasses on their weary way back to the
northern country.

It’s a sad story, but his was a resolute soul driven by a burn-
ing ambition and one feels that he might have taken for his motto
the words of the French poet Corneille: “A vaincre sans peril on
triomphe sans gloire” — “To conquer without danger is to triumph
without glory.”

Miss Susie Slagle's by Augusta Tucker. Book Review by ‘Medicus”.

Johns Hopkins Medical School and a Mobile author — Augusta
Tucker — combine in this volume to present a most readable novel.
The author writes with perfect ease and is sure of her material, since
she lived and studied and observed years before she gave her pic-
ture to the public. And that small world that centers in Baltimore
around the famous school and was built up and is still permeated
by the spirit of the great four, Doctors Osier, Welch, Halstead
and Kelly, is a world to be respected if not revered.

More specifically this story centers in the boarding house of
Miss Susie and one is reminded of Dr. Holmes’ breakfast table,
save that here it is not so much conversation as action that gives
importance to the young men who gather about Miss Susie’s
board.

Miss Susie herself is a fine character whose generous table
and quiet influence have been famous through two generations of
medical students. Her knowledge of human nature, intuition, wis-
dom and love are all clearly and beautifully portrayed. Only a
little less strong and influential are the love and intuition of her
man-cook and butler, Hizer.

The story carries a group of young men through their years
of study and training, their aspirations, their discouragements and
for some of them their loves. And these loves are clean and beau-
tiful. Indeed, though medical students are supposed to be a wild
lot, there is in this book nothing sordid or vulgar or salacious.

The author proves her breadth of sympathy and understanding
in treating of a Jewish student and his problem, of negroes in the
hospital wards, of the poor in the slums and of German Otto
across the street from the hospital.

Augusta Tucker’s characters are clearly drawn and she, like
Miss Susie, is a discerning reader of character. She brings out
very sharply the respect and loyalty of the students towards their
instructors, even though they discuss them frankly and with hu-
mor. But they find them surprisingly and helpfully human. And
the devotion of these masters to the great cause of science and
the welfare of humanity is without question.

ALABAMA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

^ There are certain high points that touch the heart: the negroes
singing to their people in the wards at Christmas, the dinner with
the Jewish family and in particular the account, as the book closes,
of the spiritual beauty and sweetness of Miss Susie as she calls
together before she dies her “boys.” The love and devotion and
deep respect of these same “boys”, students and professors alike,
is plain. There’s a fineness and gentleness in some of them whom
she had helped over difficult emotional crises and had molded into
wholesome manhood and a spirit befitting the perfect physician.

But now, having said this much in praise, one must question
the author’s judgment in certain respects. She is of that school
that paints, not in broad strokes but in the cumulation of small
details. One could refurnish Miss Susie’s parlor to the least item
and this might be excusable since it was Miss Susie’s and revealed
her quaint taste and her respect for the memory of her parents.

But the minute itemizing of Jefferson Market on Christmas
Eve seems a debatable matter. Anyone who has sauntered with
interest through a great city market at any time and into the
larger delicatessen shops will recognize the accuracy of her de-
scription. She lists everything from pork to pickles, from cheese
to cranberries, from sauerkraut to sage. But with it all, one asks
“Is it Art?”

So too her book might become a guide to Baltimore as she
names the streets and gives an opportunity for Nan Rogers and
Elbert Riggs to view and study from a high place the important
buildings and monuments of the city.

But the most serious deflection from recognized standards of
fiction writing seems to this critic to be the combining of the story
with medical records — case histories in brief. It is easy to believe
that to some, probably to many of her headers, descriptions of the

dissecting room and the appearance of cadavers would be displeas-
ing if not painful. The probings and resultant specimens of au-
topsies, operations on a woman’s internal structure, and the easy
discussion (though not in Miss Susie’s presence) of syphilis, can-
cer and other matters anatomical and pathological, could easily
leave the reader either faint or furious.

And so — reading with these mixed emotions, one can but
wonder if even in these uninhibited times a good novel can be all
things to all men : a guidebook, a market guide, a medical treatise,
a character study and a love story. And thus wondering the critic
repeats the question “Is it Art?”

Lee, President of the Tuesday Study Club of Fairhope, Alabama)

EDITORIAL

This issue of the Alabama Historical Quarterly, Number 2, of
Volume 6, is devoted to the publication of the Civil and
Military Appointments in Alabama Territory, 1818, and in
the State of Alabama, 1819-1822. These appointments include
those made by Governor William Wyatt Bibb, Territorial Gov-
ernor, 1817-1819, and Governor Thomas Bibb, 1820-21, who as Pres-
ident of the Senate succeeded his brother following his accidental
death. Israel Pickens, the third Governor, made the appointments
recorded through 1822. In addition to the civil, military and
judicial appointments made by the Governors, the names are given
of the first State Legislative Representatives both in the House
and Senate. There is included also a list of the first lawyers of
the State.

In compiling this volume great care has been taken to repro-
duce the original records, and therefore no effort has been made to
correct spelling, punctuation or other clerical errors. Frequently
a family name, or the name of an individual is spelled two or more
ways, so that further research would be necessary to determine
the correct spelling. This work has been compared several times
with the original entries, and is generally accurate, although the
old handwriting proved difficult in a few instances.

The originals of these records are in the Department of Ar-
chives and History, along with all other records of this character.
The Department 'has made a card index of the Civil and Military
Appointments from these manuscripts up to 1869 and the index
will be brought up to date as soon as clerical assistance and time
will permit. The record presented herewith applies to the follow-
ing Counties: Autauga, Baldwin, Blount, Butler, Cahawba (now

Bibb), Clark, Conecuh, Cotaco (now Morgan), Dallas, Franklin,
Greene, Henry, Jackson, Jefferson, Lauderdale, Lawrence, Lime-
stone, Madison, Marengo, Marion, Mobile, Monroe, Montgomery,
Perry, Pickens, St. Clair, Shelby, Tuscaloosa, Washington and
Wilcox.

In order to present this material which is not only of historical
but of biographical interest, the Quarterly for lack of space cannot
produce its usual miscellaneous historical material. The next two
issues will be given over to Revolutionary soldiers buried in Ala-
bama and Census Returns for 1820.

The Editor of this magazine cannot refrain from paying a
proper tribute to the splendid work being done in the* division of
civil records by the State Archivist. Miss Frances M. Hails,
a native of Montgomery, who has been with the Department in
that capacity for twenty-three years. The mass of State archives
stored on the ground floor in the World War Memorial Building-
covers its Territorial period, 1817, to the present time. This ma-
terial proves of great value not only for business reasons but for
historical and biographical needs. Before the present war necesi-
tated the abridgment of travel the records of the Department of
Archives and History and its great collection of old bound news-
papers, were in use by adult students and research workers from
half the States in the Union. Numerous historical books have
been written from this material. The State officials consult the
records as their needs require and in one box receipts were found
that saved the State repaying a bill of $150,000. Miss Hails, the
Archivist is so familiar with this vast collection of material which
goes into millions of items, that she can in a moment produce any
record that is needed. It has been the policy of the Department of
Archives and History to make careful and appropriate selections
of its staff and in its long history of forty-four years very few
changes in personnel have taken place. For that reason the head
of each division is an expert and it gives the Editor of this maga-
zine who is also the Director of the Alabama State Department
of Archives and History, great pleasure to make this acknowledg-
ment of the painstaking work and fine personal qualities of the
State Archivist, Frances Matthews Hails.

EDITORIAL

This issue of the Alabama Historical Quarterly, No. 3, of Vol.
6, is devoted to the publication of the first Census records of Ala-
bama for eight counties for the year 1820 and an abstract of
the Federal Census of Alabama for the year 1830. The Depart-
ment of Archives and History has tried for years to locate the
Census returns for other Counties covering the period but has so
far failed. Not even the Census Bureau at Washington, D. C.,
has these early returns.

Mrs. Gertrude Worthington Jeffries, of Birmingham and Boli-
gee, Alabama, has given money to the Department as a memorial
to her late husband, Frank M. Jeffries, to be expended for such
other Census returns as may be found for 1830, 1840, 1850, 1860
and 1870. Copies of some Alabama County Census returns were
located in Washington, D. C., at the Census Bureau by Dr. Clanton
Williams, Professor of History at the University of Alabama. He
had microfilm copies made from these originals which are in the
Amelia Gayle Gorgas Library at the University, and are being
copied and indexed by Mrs. Pauline Jones Gandrud, of Tusca-
loosa, for the Department.

The Census returns for the eight Alabama Counties herewith
presented were prepared under the direction of Miss Frances M.
Hails, State Archivist, with the aid of Mrs. Mary Livingston Akin,
her assistant in the archival division of the Department. Mrs. Akin
is painstaking and accurate in her work and in addition to copying
old historical records she also has charge of the portograph ma-
chine for reproducing original records. These records from our
archival material are frequently called for by students and business
organizations, and prove of great help to both.

the northern part of the State is much more populous and also
pays more to the support of government, than the southern.

From the Counties of Blount, Baldwin, Henry, Marion and
Mobile, no returns have been made. Of the above assessment,
only $18,677.29 have been received into the Treasury. The bal-
ance of more than $22,000.00 is still due the State, a considerable
portion of which it is supposed will never be collected. We un-
derstand the County Court neglected to take from him the requi-
site security ; of course the taxes from that County will be a dead
loss to the State.

Revolutionary Soldiers in Alabama 523

EDITORIAL

In view of the fact that there are thousands of Alabamians
who are descended from Revolutionary soldiers, either those buried
in this State or in other States, the Alabama State Department
of Archives and Historv is devoting- the 1944, Winter Issue of the
Alabama Historical Quarterly to that subject. In 1911, Thomas Mc-
Adory Owen, founder and for twenty years Director of the Depart-
ment, published as Bulletin Xo. 5, a pamphlet entitled “Revolu-
tionary Soldiers in Alabama”. In the Foreword of that bulletin
Dr. Owen made the following statement :

It is believed that the publication of this compilation will
be of much practical service to large numbers of people inter-
ested in a study of the personal records of the Heroes of the
American Revolution. And this is true, although the lists are
manifestly incomplete, and the sketches are wanting in many
desirable details.

The lists have been made up from altogether reliable and
authentic sources. These consist of contemporary obituaries,

In 1904 Mrs. P. H. Mell published a paper containing
thirty sketches, entitled “Revolutionary Soldiers Buried in
Alabama.” It appears as pp. 527-572, Vol. iv, Transactions of
the Alabama Historical Society, 1899-1903. Mrs. Mell had
been State Historian of the Alabama Division of the Daughters
of the American Revolution. While limited in numbers, her
paper was prepared with great care. The sketches appear in
their proper places in the list here presented, with due credit.

Although a few lists of names, either by counties or localities,
had been compiled, no pretentious effort, prior to the work of
Mrs, Mell, had been undertaken.

Inasmuch as this is but a preliminary effort looking to a
complete and exhaustive record, the attention of the Depart-
ment should be brought to any and all errors, to dates and
places of death, to places of burial, to the names of those who
removed from the State, and to all others whose names ought
to be included.

Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 30, 1010.

In the thirty-four years intervening between that publication
and the present one additions have been made to the list. The
most active and zealous investigators of the subject iire the Daugh-
ters of the American Revolution of which Society there are several
hundred members in the State, descendants of Revolutionary
soldiers of the original thirteen Colonies. In addition to the in-
formation derived through the D.A.R., other sources have con-
tributed to the list which sources have been credited in connection
with each listing. In only one case was a Negro found on the list
Ned Rice of Jackson County. There were, however, manv Negroes
in the Revolutionary forces.

The last list published here, located in Washington by Miss
Maud McLure Kelly, Historical Materials Collector of the De-
partment, is made up of men or their widows whose applications
to the Federal Government for pensions were denied. These ap-
plications were either rejected outright or were suspended pending
additional proof which was usually never made. The most frequent
grounds for the rejection of the application was that the service
shown in the Continental Line had been of less than six months
duration or that the service shown had not been rendered in the
Continental Line but had been in the State Militia troops, or that
the service had been non-military, such as wagoner for the troops,
or express riding.

The transportation of troops and other supplies was then a
civilian job, not a part of military duties, and those engaged in it
were civilians and not entitled to pensions under the law. One
application was rejected because the applicant was too young to

522

ALABAMA HISTORICAL QUARTERLY

qualify for a pension under the Act of Congress. Three were
rejected because the service was rendered after the Revolution
had officially ended and three because the applicants had deserted.
The rejection of the applications of the widows was because they
had married after the date named in the Act of Congress. One
Act required that the marriage must have occurred before the close
of the Revolutionary War, and the other Act of Congress fixed the
date as before January 1, 1794. With the exception of the three
whose service occurred after the close of the War and of the three
who deserted, all of these men were loyal veterans of the Ameri-
can Revolution.

The Director of the Department of Archives and History
wishes to express her appreciation of the painstaking work of
M iss Mary R. Mullen in the compilation of this Quarterly. Miss'
Mullen has been the Librarian of the Department for twenty-seven
years having graduated in library science in the Library School of
Emory University, Georgia. She has for twenty-five years been
the Secretary of the Alabama Library Association and is regarded
by the librarians of the Nation as a leader in the library profession.

BENTLEY, EFFORD, Departed this life, after a distressing
illness of four weeks, on the 3rd inst. at the residence of his son,
John G. Bentley, in Madison County, Ala., Col. Efford Bentley,
in the 78th year of his age, formerly of Amelia County, Virginia.
In his very boyhood he entered the military service of his country,
during our revolutionary struggle ; on which subject he dwelt with
more than ordinary interest. The writer of this was intimately
acquainted with Col. Bentley, and was with him during his last
illness. He Avas an affectionate husband, a tender parent, and
highly esteemed by his numerous acquaintances. He bore his
afflictions with truly Christian fortitude and patience ; he was en-
gaged in prayer for several years, but it was in his last sickness
that his piety was most conspicuous. But the patriot and Christian
is gone to receive his reward. He has left a companion, eight
children, and a numerous circle of relations and friends to mourn
their loss ; but they weep not as those who have no hope. Our
beloved and aged friend left indubitable evidence to his surround-
ing attendants, that his peace was made Avith God. His friends
may hoav prepare to meet him in hea\ren, AAdiere they may enjoy
that lasting happiness of which he so emphatically spoke, Avhere
friends will part no more, but join in the praise of God forever.

BLACKBOURN, CLEMENT— Died on Tuesday. 7th inst.,

B. was earh' in, and continued thro’ the entire war of the Revo-
lution ; his services were rendered chiefly in the Southern States.
He removed from the County of Mecklenburg, \ a., to Madison,
Ala., in the year 1816, where he continued to reside, beloved and
respected by his neighbours and acquaintances, until about two
months ago. In June last, his old and beloved wife, with whom
he had lived in the happiest state of matrimony for upwards of
sixty years, was taken from him, by the ruthless hand of death ;
and left him, as he remarked to the writer of this notice, without
one single motive or desire to remain here ; and he only waited the
call of his God, that he might be laid- by her side in the orchard
of his son Franks. Mr. Blackbourn was a man of fine sense — was
well versed in history, ancient and modern ; his kindness and
benevolence knew no bounds, whilst upon these subjects he never
let his right hand know what his left hand did. Mr. B. has left
a large number of children, grandchildren and great grand children,
to mourn his loss; whose tears were freely shed and mingled with
those of his old neighbors — whilst the writer could but notice at
the closing scene the deep distress and grief of his slaves, who
were about him on that trying occasion. He is gone — he has paid
the only debt lie owed upon this earth, and died, as he lived, an
honest man, ‘the noblest work of God.” T. — Huntsville Democrat , Feb.

BRANDON, JOSIAH — Departed this life, in Lincoln County „
Tenn., in the triumphs of Christian faith, on the 5th inst., in the
83rd year of his age, Rev. Josiah Brandon. Brother Brandon had
been an acceptable, useful, and highly exemplary member of the
Methodist E. Church for near 60 years, and about 50 years of that
time a devout, zealous and useful minister of the gospel of Christ,
beloved by all who knew him. As a minister he was vigilant in
watching the interests of our beloved zion — labored and prayed for
her prosperity and success, and he was permitted by the great
head of the church to live to see her borders extend far and wide,
and see the blood stained banner wave in majestic triumph over
many nations. As a citizen in the “land of the free and the home
of the brave,'” he, after having fought for the liberties of his country,
spent a long and useful life in the enjoyment of that precious gift
of HeaA^en to man, Liberty. He was ardently attached to the insti-
tutions of his country-rendering unto “Caesar the things that are
Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” His house was a
home for many years for all the ministers of Christ. Kind and
hospitable to friends, generous and liberal to the fatherless and
widow, and distressed ; an indulgent father, the kind husband, the
worthy citizen, the devout Christian. He had prayed for many
years, that when the fatal hour came for his final dissolution, that
he might pass the dismal vale without a struggle. His prayer was
answered. The day on which he died he was happy all day, and
in his usual health; at night he fell asleep in the arms of Jesus,
without a murmur or a sigh escaping his lips. He has left an af-
fectionate companion and a large circle of relations to mourn their
loss. May they follow the sainted patriarch as he followed Christ.

resident of this county ; he had for a long time been a man of
affliction, and for the last, two weeks of his life he was confined
by exceeding painful affliction. Yet amidst all he neither mur-
mured nor repined, but sustained it with patience, fortitude and
resignation. He was an upright citizen, a kind neighbor and af-
fectionate parent, and fulfilled the duties of life with correctness
and fidelity ; kind and mourning friends ministered to the hours of
illness, and watched around his dying couch, but all availed not
to avert the fatal stroke. The hour of departure had arrived — ■
the summons of Him who gave life had recalled the vital spark,
and the soul went home to the bosom of its Father and God. Be-
reaved relatives and sorrowing friends may weep their loss, but
their hour of mourning are brightened by the glorious hope of a
joyous resurrection, and a full belief of a happy meeting in that
better world where all is peace, where sorrow is unknown and
happiness without alloy prevails forever. Sacred be the memory of
the dead — long will the memory of his worth be cherished and

of a voluntary corps of cavalry, stationed at Charles City Court
House; was taken prisoner at that place, carried to Westover and

COZBY, ROBERT— Died— On the 7th day of October last,
at the residence of his son, in the Town of Trianna, the venerable
Robert Cozby, in the 69th year of his age ; a Revolutionary Pen-
sioner, who received the enemy’s ball in the calf of his knee in the
commencement of the War, which disabled him thro’ life. Not-
withstanding his decreptitude, through a spirit of industry and
vigilance, he was enabled to raise a respectable family. He died
as he had lived, a steady and devoted friend to the cause of re-
ligion. When spoken to about his approaching dissolution, he
declared he had no wish to live, but longed for the happy change.
He was interred, on the 8th, at the burying ground where his
aged wife had been previously interred, surrounded by friends
and pious Christians.

N. B. — He never called on the government for his Pension
till he came to Alabama, whence decreptitude and old age had
combined to reduce him to penury and want ; then the Pension
Agent at Huntsville paid him in depreciated paper, which should
make a black mark in that gentleman’s conduct through life,
except he make amends, acknowledges his faults, repents for the
crime, and asks his God and his country for forgiveness. Though
his friends have consolation in the belief that his soul is wafted
to a more friendly port, where his agent will deal honestly and
pay his pension in that gold which moths cant corrupt nor thieves
break through and steal. — A Christian in the Neighborhood of
Trianna — The Democrat, Huntsville, Ala., Dec. 2, 1825.

with one of the Heroes of the Revolution, Mr. Thomas Garrett,

town on horse back alone, for the purpose of receiving his pension.
The old gentleman appears to be in possession of his faculties,
answers questions readily and is quite humorous in his conversa-
tion.

He served for a considerable period under Gen. Sumter, the
“Game Cock of the South,” and was profuse in his praise of that
brave and chivalrous Commander.

He was also at the battle of Fort Moultrie and the seige of
Savannah, at the storming of the latter place, he stated that while
viewing a wounded fellow-soldier, who lay among heaps of slain,
the gallant Pulaski rode up, and remarked “My brave fellow, take
care, you are in dangerous position” to which Garrett made answer,
“General, if you intend to be in a place of safety, I’d keep near
you.” Pulaski put spurs to his horse & rushed furiously into the
midst of the fight, where he soon received a mortal wound, and
expired in the arms of Garrett. — Voice of Sumter, Livingston, Ala.

GOGGANS, WILLIAM. William Gog'gans, a soldier of the
Revolution, was born in Richmond county, Va., January 14, 1758.
In early life, his parents emigrated to Newberry District, South
Carolina. Young Goggans was an active soldier in the Revolu-

of King’s Mountain, where he was wounded in the left shoulder.
Sometime afterwards while with a scouting party he was wounded
in the left leg. And again, in another skirmish, he was struck
down by a severe sabre stroke on the head and left for dead upon

GOODE, WILLIAM (1765-1837) served as a private in the

GOODE, WILLIAM. — The grave of this Revolutionary Sol-
dier is located upon a place owned by Mr. Lamar Hamilton, about
3 miles south, of Whatley, Clarke County, Ala. in an old field, not
now in cultivation. The grave sets east and west, and is marked
by a flat marble slab, which is now broken into four pieces. The
inscription is as follows: IN MEMORY OF WM, GOODE who
died on the 4 of March 1839, in the 80th. year of his age. Entered
upon the Alabama Roster of the Revolution by the Needham Bryan
13. A. R. Chapter of Mobile, Alabama.

His wife Sarah James sleeps by his side, but her grave is
unmarked. The land occupied by these two graves was reserved
by the Goode family in the deed to Alfred Barnes. At the foot of
the WILLIAM GOODE grave is the official bronze D. A. R.
marker placed by the Virginia Cavalier D. A. R. Chapter in 1920
with the following inscription : WILLIAM GOODE. Born Pow-
hatan Co. Va., 1765. Died Clarke Co. Ala. 1839. Virginia Cavalier
Chapter.

Our noble women are ever on the alert and mindful of sacred
things as were Martha and Mary. Such is the case with Mrs.
Charles Redwood of 1110 22nd Avenue, Meridian, Mississippi, and
Mrs. Erwin Vass, of 250 St. Anthony St., Mobile, Alabama. On
October 21st, 1920, these good ladies, representing the Virginia
Cavalier, Mobile Chapter, Daughters of American Revolution,
with the assistance of M. W. Haskew and myself placed a bronze
marker at the grave of Hon. William Goode, born in Powhatan
County, Virginia, 1759, buried 1839 in the 80th year of his age on
his plantation about three miles south of Whatley, Alabama. Mr.
Goode was a large slave and land holder and prosperous and in-
fluential in his time. He was married in Charleston, S. C., to
Miss Sarah Jones, and reared a large family. His son Thomas
Jefferson Goode was the grandfather of the above Mrs. Redwood,

WINTER ISSUE, 1944

571

and his daughter, Elizabeth Carolina Goode Tate, of Wilcox
County, was the grandmother of the above Mrs. Vass. Mr. Goode
was a first cousin of Thomas Jefferson and -Revolutionary War
soldier. He was present when Cornwallis surrendered to George
Washington at Yorktown. As we were placing this marker our
minds reverted to the dim and distant past of colonial days. The
hardships, privations and sufferings, of the great war that gave
birth to Old Glory and American liberties. We thought of the
young bride and groom of Charleston, S. C , then on the long and
perilous journey through the wilderness subject to wild beasts and
the treacherous Indians. Then we thought of them settling on
the plantation of wide and fertile acres, with multiplied duties
and increasing interest, enjoying the divine rights secured by our
constitution and the great war. Then we thought of them rearing
a large family to go out and bless humanity by emulating the
example and cherishing the precious heritage of a noble ancestry.

After placing the marker and erecting Old Glory and a short
but impressive prayer, each of us went wending our way home-
ward realizing it was good to be there. (Signed) Sam H. Gwin,

self to agricultural pursuits ; and in that quiet and favored mode
of existence discharged, through a long life, all of the social duties

only in the family circle, but through the extended circle of his
acquaintance. He was a professor of the religion of Jesus Christ
for 58 years, and in his retired sphere inculcated the sacred prin-
ciples he practised. Having disposed of his property and settled
all his earthly concerns, he was frequently heard to observe that
nothing remained to him but to die ; and this last act of his life

said, that in the approaching conflict with the King of Terrors,
he should come off more than conquerer, through Him that loved

night’s repose; and if human conduct furnish any guide to future
destiny, he has secured an interest in the first resurrection.

What new enjoyments please the unbodied mincl.

As wing’d with virtue thro’ the etherial skv,

From world to world unwearied it doth fly.

Does it delight to hear bold seraphs tell.

How Michael Battle and the dragon fell.

Of Heaven’s decrees where wandering angels gaze ;

Or mix’d with milder cherebims,

And gentle like the dove,

At Jesus feet he sits to glow
In hymns of love.

lamented by an affectionate wife and seven children, and a large
number of grand and great grand children. He was beloved by
all his acquaintances and neighbors, and respected as an honest,
benevolent man; and by his own industry had been placed in easy
circumstances. It was his request of all his sons, that they should
remain firm in the Democratic Republic principles, which he in
part had fought for, and for the last several years had drawn a
small pension from the government of the United States as an
evidence of his service. He was born in England ; himself and
his brother Richard, came to the United States when orphan boys,
and having some knowledge of the British yoke, took up arms
and fought bravely to rid this country of it : he joined the North
Carolina Militia, under Brigadier General Davidson and was* in a
great many serious engagements. He died with a full assurance
of future bliss.

Bartholomew Jordan. The deceased emigrated from North Caro-
lina and settled near Huntsville many years ago. His unexampled
piety, his orderly walk, and his Christian conversation, connected
with his many acts of benevolence and charity, were well calcu-
lated to endear him to the community in which he lived. Old
Father Jordan, was emphatically one of those rare beings who left
the world without an enemy. He seemed perfectly sensible of
his approaching dissolution and spoke of his departure from this
world as one who had long had it in his mind to visit his friends
in a far off land, and appeared as though he was anxiously waiting
for the arrival of the moment when he could set out upon his long-
journey. His faith in the merits of a Saviour’s blood, like the sun,
seemed to grow larger when setting, and abundantly showed that
in his last moments his immortal soul was vigorous and strong,
and that it remained unhurt amid the ruins of dissolving nature.
The writer of this poor sketch feels confident that no one could
have witnessed the last moments of this venerable old Patriarch
and Saint without being fully convinced of the blessed reality of
the Christian religion. While the poor feeble emanciated body
was fast declining and the pulse became faint and few. The im-
mortal soul, as if in the vigor of manhood, seemed like a bounding
courser which had been long held back from the eager chace by
the twisted bit, was anxious to be let loose from the body, that it
might take its mystic flight into the boundless regions of felicity
where even fancy itself has ceased to pursue. As a master Father
Jordan was kind; as a friend and neighbour he was obliging and
sincere ; as a father his affection for his children could not be
surpassed. But he is gone to the better land, where it is hoped
that his friends will all meet him. — Huntsville Democrat, April 9, 1842.

KELLY, GRESHAM — Widow of this Revolutionary soldier
who received pay as a captain on militia duty for two hundred

October 1, 1799, having married January 17, 1769, B Tatum.

1830 shows a female aged between eighty and ninety in the home

LACY, JOHN — Horn in Virginia, the son of Theophilus Lacy
and Martha Cocke. His father died in Virginia while the mother
died in 1812 in Rockingham County, N. C. The inventory of the
estate of Theophilus Lacy was filed in both Pittsylvania County,
Va., and Guilford County, N. C., and bears the date of November
24, 1777. During the Revolution, John Lacy served in the Second
North Carolina Regiment, Col. Alexander Martin, commanding.
He enlisted in 1777 for the duration of the War, in Captain Vail’s
Company, Second North Carolina Regiment, was promoted in 1778
to sergeant-major, promoted in 1778 to sergeant, made ensign
May 20, 1779, and resigned in the same year. He was listed among
the officers and men to whom allowances were made in 1792 as
having served in the continental line, and yet another time where
he is listed, as of Hillsboro District. He must be differentiated
from the John Lacy who enlisted July 20, 1778, for nine months in
Captain Baker’s Company, Tenth North Carolina Regiment, Col.
Abraham Shepard commanding. He married March 17, 1803, in
Rockingham County, N. C., Polly Henderson, born January 16,
1785, daughter of Thomas and Jane (Martin) Henderson, the latter
a sister of Gov. Alexander Martin of North Carolina. The children
were: Theophilus, born January 1, 1804, in Rockingham County,
N. C.. died February 10, 1874, at Huntsville, Ala., married (1)
Mary W. Harris, (2) Frances Hardeman Binford; Thomas Hen-
derson, married Mary McClelland; Frances Hardeman, born 1810,
died young; Alexander PI., born 1814, married Sallie Wall; John
Lacy removed to Madison County, Ala., and owned land in both
Madison and Morgan Counties. Lacey’s Springs takes its name
from him and he are his wife are buried there.

LAVENDER, HLTGH (called Huey) gives lots of information
on himself, in his Revolutionary War Pension Application. He

Ballymena; landed 1771 in South Carolina and settled on Wateree

Creek in Camden District (now Fairfield) ; volunteered early in
the Revolution, and served at various times until the close of the
war, about two years in all, as a private in S. C. Troops under
Captains Robert Allison, John Mullen, Casey and John Wolgen
and Colonel John Winn and Generals Sumter, Pickens and Nathan-
iel Greens; was in the siege of Ninety-Six. Hugh Lavender’s rec-
ord says he lived also in Newberry District S. C., and in 1822
came to Greene County (now Hale). He refers to John Elliott,
David Campbell and James Campbell for veracity and character.
Hugh Lavender died, 1834, and is buried at Concord with no
marker to his grave.

Hugh Lavender’s will at Eutaw (Book b, Page 153) gives, a
list of his children namely: Margaret Lavender, Sarah Bennett,
Robert S. Lavender, John Lavender, Ruth Barbour, Mary Torbert,
Nancy McDaniel, Levi Lavender. Hugh also leaves money to
James Campbell and Lucy Lavender, but does not state who they
are. He makes no mention of his wife who must have died first,
but I have just recently received copy of Bible records in posses-
sion of John Levi Lavender, of Birmingham, and Hugh’s wife is
given as Rebecca Smith, born 1759 in Ireland, married 1777.

John Levi Lavender (age 82) is a brother of Catherine Ann
(Kate) Lavender, who married (1897) her fourth cousin, John
William Lavender. Mrs. Kate Lavender helped me a great deal
until her death, April 12, 1943, in Birmingham. Her sister-in-law
by marriage, Mrs. Annie Bobinette Dominick Lavender (widow
of Francis Marion Lavender) of Greensboro, has also greatly
helped with this history. Mrs. Kate Lavender remembered that
her grandfather had a sister who married a Bennett, and told me
of her grandson, Dr. James D. Bennett, of Meridian, but I’ve never
been able to hear from him. Dr. Bennett is a son of Hugh Laven-
der Bennett and grandson of Kinard Bennett, who married Sarah
Lavender, Sarah had another son, David, but this is the limit of our
record on them.

Robert S. Lavender (Bobin), son of Hugh, in 1825 joined Con-
cord Church, and in 1828, one of his children was baptized at
Concord. These records are from the old Church minutes. Census
records at Tuscaloosa give some information and Sumter County
records give some. Bobin had sons, H. E. and David S. Lavender,

596

and Daughters, Nancy G. (Mrs. John C. Porter) and one whose
name is not given.

Concord Church records show that William McDaniel had
four Children Baptized Oct. 30, 1831 ; namely, Elizabeth, Hugh
Lavender, Anne Montgomery and Moses Martin McDaniel. This
is undoubtedly husband of Nancy Lavender and their children,
but I have no further record of them.

Hugh Levi Lavender, son of Hugh, married Dec. 12, 1824,
Jane Hopper (Jennie) and had several children, among them John
David Lavender (born Feb. 29, 1836, Greensboro — died June 16.
1899, Birmingham, buried East Lake). John David married 1860
m Sumterville, Ala. Rebecca Barlow Poythress, who had come in
1853 in a covered wagon from Petersburg, Va., with her parents
(James Edward Poythress and Catherine Smith Preston). Re-
becca was born Nov. 10, 1838, in Petersburg, and died Jan. 28,
1936, in Birmingham at the age of 97. Her children were: John
Levi Lavender (now living in Birmingham) Catherine Ann (Mrs.
J. W. Lavender) who died 1943; Ida Thomas (Mrs. Janies S.
Sullivan), Birmingham; Dr. William Algernon Lavender (died
1940 in Birmingham), Lemuel Thomas Lavender (who married
first Jane Elizabeth Lavender), LaGrange, Ga. ; Herbert Windham
Lavender (married Mary Ruth Scarborough), Livingston, Alaba-
ma.

John Lavender (born July 1, 1780, Camden District, S. C.,
died March 3, 1861, at Havana, buried Concord), married Rebecca
Sant (born March 15, 1784, in South Carolina, died May 15, 1860,
At Havana, buried Concord). Rebecca was full Irish, says Miss
Annie Stokes, but others say she was, named Sent and was from
London. Snedecor Directory (1855) gives John Lavender, Planter,
Havana, 1821, Section 14 and 15, Township 22, Range 5, East.
This was between Havana and Liberty. • Mrs. Annie Lavender
says Cousin Mag told her that several brothers came from South
Carolina and settled first near Moundville, but because of chills
and fevers, moved out near Liberty and Havana. Some of the
brothers moved into Pickens County, near Ethelsville. There are
many Lavenders in that county today.

John Lavender’s children were: Elizabeth (married Tyree
Hollis) ; Ann Montgomery Lavender (1808-1831) ; Sarah (Sallie)

Sallie, Peggy and Mattie Lavender all died old maids.

John Lavender’s oldest child, Elizabeth (born Jan. 7, 1807 in
South Carolina; Married Dec. 15, 1829, at Havana, Tyree Hollis,
who was born 1794 in South Carolina). Snedecor (1855) gives
Tyree Hollis, Planter, Havana, 1822, Section 21, Township 22,
Range 5, East. This is out toward Liberty. Tyree died 1870. He
and wife are buried at Concord (no stones). Miss Hattie Hollis,
of Sawyerville, and Miss Annie Stokes, of Havana, furnished most
of the Hollis records.

Tyree Hollis had these children (maybe others) ; Calvin De-
witt Hollis (married Anne Elizabeth Elliott) ; Rebecca Margaret
(born about 1853; died July 8, 1909, single); Henry (born about
1835, probably died young) ; Thomas (born about 1838; died about
1915) ; Tyree Josephus (born 1840 died April 10, 1864, single) ;
James Harvey Hollis (married Martha Ann Hendrix) ; Elizabeth
Ann (married James Augustus Stokes) ; Hugh (no dates) ; John
(no dates); and Caroline (who married Garland Rice).

Calvin Dewitt Hollis (1830-1884), married Anne Elizabeth
Elliott and most of their descendants were given in the Hale
County News, March 30, 1944, but here are a few additions. James
Pinkney Hollis, son of Calvin, first married (1893), Marie Elba
Abernathy, daughter of Burrell Brown (Joe) Abernathy and Sarah
Elizabeth Lavender, and had James Calvin Hollis (Married 1931,
Kate Seay Ford) ; Alma Onida (married 1925, John Vernon Han-

received in Battle of Chateau Thiery, France, in First AYorld War).

ancestor (John Parr) was a soldier of the Revolution, who settled
west of Greensboro about 1835 from Fairfield District, S. C. where

latter part of the Revolutionary War, and was one of the early

such fearful odds, and amid such dreadful privations. The widow

McWHORTER, REV. GEORGE G., of the Presbytery of
Georgia, became a member of the Presbytery of Alabama, April 2d,
1829. Of this father I have no recollection. He was soon called
from his new field of labor. Under date of Nov. 19th, 1829, I find
the following minute: “It is our painful duty to record the death
of our father and fellow laborer, the Rev. George G. McWhorter.
He was a patriot and soldier in the Revolutionary War. Having-
been permitted to labor in the vineyard, he has ceased from his
labors, and entered, as we trust, into the enjoyment of the right-
eous. This dispensation we desire to improve to our edification
and usefulness.” — Nall’s Dead of the Synod of Alabama, 1851, page 10.

Sacred to the memory of
Rev. Geo. Grey McWhorter

who had attained the astonishing age of 117 years on the 4th day
of July last. He was born in the State of Maryland — settled in
the State of North Carolina, about the commencement of our
infant struggle for Independence, in which he early embarked —
battling for his country as a soldier, from its beginning to its
glorious termination ; — from thence he emigrated to this State
about thirty years since, where he has continued to live a quiet,
unobstrusive and retired life, up to its close, with probably as few
enemies as any man that ever lived. He was emphatically an
honest and a good man, and though attached to no church, was a
Christian. Thus he died, as he had lived — full of years and the kind
feelings of all who knew him. — Huntsville Democrat , September 11,
